Volume 47 Chapter 21

The style of Taixia's state banquet can be described as a combination of east and west. The first half of the state banquet was in an oriental style. The prince gave the banquet, and everyone thanked the banquet. Everyone sat in the banquet hall, before sitting at the table, enjoying the food brought by Taixia's palace chef in a serious manner. The top food and singing and dancing performances by beauties, while the second half of the state banquet is in Western style. After the main banquet, everyone has a short rest and exchange, and then transfers from the front hall of Anyan Hall to the back hall to enjoy the reception and free social time.

Zhang Tie doesn't know who ordered the style of this state banquet, but it is indeed interesting, at least it will not make such a banquet look boring, and in the second half of the state banquet, whether it is for the important officials and princes in the Taixia Dynasty For His Highness, or for the envoys and royal nobles who came to the banquet, they can use the opportunity of the second half to do many private exchanges, secret transactions, and of course, even mating...

This kind of state banquet is a stage to show Taixia's leadership position among the human race, and it is also a hunting ground for people's popularity and an abyss of fame and wealth. The proxy wars in those subcontinents and the rise and fall of the royal families in those small countries, a look and a hint from some people can also determine whose bed many women who come to the banquet will roll on tonight.

There are many VIP lounges in the front hall of Anyan Hall. These lounges allow male and female guests to touch up their makeup or organize their appearance after the banquet. After the banquet is over, Bai Suxian and Linda go to the VIP lounge to touch up their makeup, while Zhang Tie also tidied up in the lounge. He just came out of the lounge and was about to wait for Bai Suxian and the others to go to the apse together when a waiter beside His Royal Highness came over and invited Zhang Tie to His Royal Highness to rest. inside the room.

As soon as Zhang Tie came to that room, he found that there were already several people in the room. Crown Prince Changying, Meng Shidao, and Yu Lianqing are all present. There is also a black face with heavy eyebrows and a serious breath. Wearing the Xiezhi crown and serving as a Taixia first-rank official is one of the Taixia Jiuqing, Lord Tingwei who is in charge of the Taixia Tingwei Mansion.

His Highness the Crown Prince's face was very ugly. He saw Zhang Tie enter the room led by the attendant, and then he forced a smile on his face.

Zhang Tie knew what was going on at a glance, because of Fang Keyan's ups and downs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince endured the attack just now at the banquet. Now it's about to explode.

"General Mu Shen was wronged just now, and I am asking several adults about what happened just now, and I must give General Mu Shen an explanation!" His Royal Highness took a deep breath and said to Zhang Tie.

Servant is the crown prince's self-proclaimed name on formal occasions. This self-proclaimed name is the same as the emperor's self-proclaimed widow and me.

"His Royal Highness is bothering you!" On such an occasion, Zhang Tie maintained enough respect for His Royal Highness in front of the two of Taixia's three princes, and did not call His Highness "Brother Changying" any more. It doesn't matter if you feel wronged. But it is really not Taixia's blessing to let a treacherous and loyal person like Fang Keyan hang out with Taixia's court!"

As soon as Zhang Tie opened his mouth,

So I used the four words "treacherous like loyalty" to describe Fang Keyan. In the room, Meng Shidao, Yu Lianqing, and Lord Tingwei glanced at each other, but didn't speak.

"Fang Keyan is indeed abominable. His official position is Zuo Pushe, Minister of the Shaofu. He has been in Xuanyuan Hill for many years. He is not a student of Master Meng. He is attacking you in the Anyan Palace today. He really has ulterior motives. Pa..." Prince Changying said bitterly. A hand hit the table heavily, right in the words just now. But he has already given Zhang Tie a piece of information without a trace—this matter has nothing to do with the Tun Party.

"The dispute between the ancestors of Huaiyuantang and Mr. Meng is a dispute of political opinions. Both sides have their own ideas, and it's just incompatible. I also believe that Mr. Meng absolutely disdains such petty tricks!" Zhang Tie glanced at Meng Shidao, calmly Said.

"Duke Huaiyuan has successors!" Meng Shidao looked at Zhang Tie seriously and said with a long sigh.

"Master Meng has been praised. Zhang Tie only wants to be worthy of his own conscience and have a clear conscience. In the past, if Zhang Tie offended him, please forgive him. The dispute between swallowing the party and Huaiyuan hall is a dispute between the court and the court. Taixia's internal strife, now Taixia's national crisis is at the head, before both sides can let go of who is right and wrong, what is the path pursued by Mr. Meng, what is the idea of ​​​​swallowing the party, to be honest, although I don't agree with it, but I don't care too much , the world is big, and so is Taixia. Taixia has thousands of sects, each with its own path to pursue, and the human race also has hundreds of religious sects, and there is more than one idol. In my eyes, Tun Party is the same as those religious sects. How Tun Party is naturally has nothing to do with me. The idea I believe in is that if people do not attack me, I will not attack others. If people attack me, I will attack them! "Zhang Tie spoke loudly and neatly, which moved Prince Changying's face. He didn't expect Zhang Tie to save face so much and not embarrass him in the middle.

"Then today I am also here to say a word in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two adults. From today on, the Tun Party lineage will never set foot in the territory of the Northeast Governor's Mansion. Now the Tundang in the Northeast Governor's Mansion Disciple, after three months, all will be withdrawn!" Meng Shidao said in a deep voice with a flash of light in his eyes.

Zhang Tie and Meng Shidao looked at each other, then stretched out their hands and clapped hands in public.

"Okay!" Seeing Zhang Tie and Meng Shidao high-five, His Royal Highness himself stood up excitedly, "Today, Lord Meng and General Yu Mushen can clear up the past for Taixia, and don't use political disputes and personal grievances. Influencing state affairs, such a deep understanding of righteousness, can be regarded as a model for all officials in the court, it should be understood..."

His Highness the Crown Prince was still in a bad mood, but when he saw that Zhang Tie and Meng Shidao were able to swear by high-fiving each other in public, "mutual non-aggression", His Highness the Crown Prince was in a good mood all of a sudden, Emperor Xuanyuan didn't invite King Xianhai to come to Xuanyuan At the same time, Emperor Xuanyuan did not eliminate the dispute between Huaiyuantang and Tundang, but these two things have actually become reality in his hands today, which makes Prince Changying feel a little high-spirited.

If there is no Fang Keyan, today's state banquet would be perfect for His Highness, but the more so, the worse Fang Keyan's feeling in His Highness's heart, like a thorn in His Highness's heart .

From Zhang Tie's point of view, this thorn was aimed at himself, but from Prince Changying's point of view, everything Fang Keyan did today was because Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong. That little push shot is nothing more than a sword in someone else's hand, the ultimate goal. Of course it can only be him, Pei Gong. If Zhang Tie broke out in Anyan Temple today or left in a huff, he would even conflict with Meng Shidao. Then, my state banquet today will become a joke of Xuanyuan Hill in a blink of an eye. In the eyes of some people, I am the protagonist of this joke, and this is the most intolerable for His Royal Highness.

"Today's case of Fang Keyan will be merged into the case of Han Zhengfang and the remnants of the Tongtian Sect..." Prince Changying said to Lord Ting Wei, this is a simple sentence. Fang Keyan's fate has been decided.

"Yes!" Lord Tingwei bowed to accept the order, then glanced at Zhang Tie, and finally couldn't help asking a question, "I wonder where the secret book of the Tongtian Empire in the hands of General Mu Shen came from?"

On the secret book is the resolution of the Tongtian Empire’s prime minister, the country’s lord, and others planning to obtain candle oil manufacturing methods from Zhang Tie and Taixia at all costs. No matter how true, the most important point is that there is such a sentence in the secret booklet, "Although the power I taught in Xuanyuan Hill suffered heavy losses after the Sunshine Change, it is still sparking. At this moment, we The church should reconnect with the people who stayed in Xuanyuan Hill, and let them try to start in Xuanyuan Hill. Get the secret of candle oil manufacturing."

Zhang Tie doesn't know and is not sure about the relationship between Fang Keyan and Tongtian Sect. It is very likely that the two parties have no relationship at all. People, Zhang Tie took out this secret book, and Fang Keyan could die without a place to bury him.

If he didn't have this thing today, that Fang Keyan would be considered rude at best. He had a verbal battle with himself, and he was "righteous". No matter how upset His Highness the Crown Prince was, he would not be able to severely punish him, and even Da Sikong, who was present at the time, only verbally reprimanded him. It's not easy to attack, but with this thing, everything will be different.

If you want to blame it, blame Fang Keyan for being unlucky and too smart. She didn't know that Zhang Tie still had such a thing in her hand, so she voluntarily bumped into Zhang Tie's muzzle.

In the western war zone, hundreds of millions of civilians in Taixia were killed and injured on the front line. During the holy war, so many people died, how could an official from Xuanyuan Hill die who wanted to step on him to climb up? go******……

This was the truest thought in Zhang Tie's heart.

"This secret is that I ran into a Tongtian Cult knight in the wilderness of the western theater last year. After that Tongtian Cult knight was beheaded by me, I found this thing from his space equipment..." Zhang Tie Said calmly, so that Lord Tingwei, one of the nine ministers, had nothing to say.

That item actually came from Yinzhou City, and it was one of Zhang Tie's windfall gains from raiding Yinzhou City that night. If Zhang Tie didn't say anything, who would have guessed it? Naturally, Zhang Tie did what he said.

In a short meeting in the room, less than ten minutes later, the fate of Shaofu Shangshu Zuo Pushe was already doomed, and the relationship between the Huaiyuantang lineage and the Tun Party entered a new era.

Satisfied, Zhang Tie left the room.

...

After everyone left that room, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remained in that room in the Anyan Palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the room, raising his head, squinting his eyes at a famous mural of galloping horses in the room, the light in his eyes flickered, and the lines at the corners of his mouth slowly became sharp.

I don't know when, a middle-aged scribe in Tsing Yi holding a jade bone feather fan had already stood behind His Highness the Crown Prince, with his hands down.

"Mr. Fang, do you think it's the third child or the ninth child who made the move this time..." His Royal Highness did not turn around, his eyes were still looking at the mural on the wall, and he just asked indifferently.

"This kind of thing can't be found out. Fang Keyan is not a knight, but even if Ting Wei's mansion uses the secret method of searching the soul, the other party will never leave any tail for us to catch. There are also secrets to deal with the secret method of searching the soul." The medicine and the corresponding secret method can erase a specific part of a person's memory early on. It is not the first time that such a thing has happened on Xuanyuan Hill and on the court. Since Fang Keyan dared to jump out at this time, Since they dared to take the risk of offending His Highness, they had already made all-out preparations, and the other party was making a big deal out of small things. They just didn't expect that Zhang Tie would actually have a secret book about the remnants of the Tongtian Sect..."

"Sigh, is it really impossible to find out who it is?" Prince Changying sighed, "As long as I don't get to that position for a day, there will always be someone who doesn't move and still has thoughts in his heart!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter who is behind this incident. What matters is that His Royal Highness can cut off that person's hand on Xuanyuan Hill in a fair and just way this time. Cutting off this hand will kill chickens and scare monkeys. In the future In Xuanyuan Hill, there are very few people who dare to play tricks and stretch out their hands in front of His Royal Highness for others. Even if there are still people who dare to stretch out their hands. Before those people stretch out their hands, they should think about Fang Keyan's fate today How can man's calculation be better than heaven's calculation, this piece of iron is indeed His Highness' lucky star!" The middle-aged scribe in Tsing Yi said calmly.

His Royal Highness finally turned around, looking at the scholar in blue with burning eyes, "Do you think Zhang Tie can be loyal to me?"

"I have told His Highness before that Zhang Tie is a man. Judging from his past actions, the only thing that can keep him bound is the word love!" The eyes of the scribe in green are like mirrors in water, and the light of wisdom flickers. Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince, "This person values ​​friendship the most. As long as His Highness can always use the word "love" to win over people, even if he cannot be loyal to His Highness, as long as he can be used by His Highness, he can stand by His Highness at critical times. He can become His Highness who controls the world. Great help, far surpassing the holy rank..."

"Can't you be loyal to me?" His Royal Highness asked a little unwillingly.

"Your Highness will rule the four poles and rule the universe. Wealthy all over the world, standing on the top of the human race, why care about the gains and losses of one person, this is the kindness that a Chinese emperor with power over the world should have. Don't you think that Emperor Xuanyuan was really There is no way to take the King of the Sea, even to see the King of the Sea? It must be impossible, but not to..." The scribe in Tsing Yi said calmly, seeing the thoughtful expression of Prince Changying, the scribe in Tsing Yi continued .

"And His Highness wants Zhang Tie's allegiance. What can His Highness give Zhang Tie in exchange for his allegiance? In terms of wealth, the Zhang family's candle oil and all-purpose potion. Zhang Tie is already a wealthy man in the world, so he doesn't need much money." If you talk about cultivation secrets, Zhang Tie is now the master of the gods, and his power as the master of the gods, I think, is still higher than that of the king of Xianhai. Even if His Highness handed over the "Xuanyuan Shenbian Jing" to him at this time, it is impossible to make him stronger? In terms of status, Zhang Tie gave up the throne of the ice and snow wasteland and returned to Taixia. The child's father voluntarily gave up his position as Patriarch in Huaiyuan Hall after he was wronged, and only served as the elder of the family. He rarely intervened in the affairs of Huaiyuan Hall. To be a guerrilla general, to retire after success, and to stand up at critical moments, regardless of personal life or death, no one with ambition would give up opportunities for further advancement one after another, but Zhang Tie kept going one after another. They all gave up. It can be seen that Zhang Tie has no ambitions, and power and status are not attractive to him at all. This is a true gentleman. It's just that I have no regrets in my heart, Taixia can have such a gentleman who controls the gods, it is the blessing of the Chinese people, and it is also the blessing of His Highness, His Highness should cherish it..."

"Thank you sir, I understand!" Prince Changying let out a breath slowly, pondered for a while, and said, "There is one thing I have considered for a long time, but I have been unable to make up my mind. Zhang Tie's body has not fully recovered these days, I It is inconvenient to discuss with him, so as not to make him feel that I am eager for quick success and quick profit, just like this state banquet, how many people come here just want to get close to Zhang Tie, and their eyes are fixed on the candle oil, which has a great relationship, far surpassing the whole world. Effective potions are all in the hands of the family, I'm afraid..."

"Does Your Highness really think that the candle oil is completely in the hands of the Zhang family?" The scribe in Tsing Yi smiled calmly, "If Your Highness asks the King of Guangnan and the suzerain of the Tianji Sect now, how many candles does His Highness want?" You can have as much candle oil as oil, and there will be more wealthy families in Taixia who can produce candle oil in the next two years. How can this be in the hands of a family? I don’t think Zhang Tie is right in my hand, this is the strength of God Zhang Mu, this is the real great wisdom, it is indisputable, so no one in the world can compete with him!”

"Then in the future..."

The scribe in Tsing Yi shook his feather fan lightly, "Zhang Tie's family came to Xuanyuan Hill this time and brought all of Zhang Tie's children. Zhang Tie now has seventeen children, three of whom are in Tianjimen. It is a body that is congenital and flawless. It will be an adult in a few years. It is almost certain to be an advanced knight at the age of twenty. The other fourteen children are now in Xuanyuan Hill, each of them is six or seven years old, and twelve of them are sons. , two are daughters, I remember that His Highness also has many children, and many of them are about the same age as Zhang Tie's children, and there are more suitable ones in the royal family. Why should Your Highness worry about future matters? Maybe it's just a matter in the family of His Highness's descendants..."

Prince Changying was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, he burst out laughing, "After listening to the words of the master, it really made me realize..."

"This candle oil, now placed in Taixia, can be used by His Royal Highness to stabilize Taixia's foundation, strengthen Taixia's strength, and resist the demons. If it is placed outside Taixia, it can just become His Royal Highness's strategy in various continents and subcontinents. A sharp weapon, capable of conquering various continents and sub-continents, this is the strong capital for His Highness to ascend the throne as the Chinese emperor in the future..."

"How to plan?"

"Zhang Tiezhi's elder brother, Zhang Yang, runs the Golden Crow Merchant Group. He is talented, young and energetic, and quite enterprising. Jin Quandao's popularity plummeted after Han Zhengfang's incident, and he was rejected by other major sects in Taixia. Now Jin Quandao's dominance It has been transferred from Dasinong's Mansion to His Highness. His Highness can take the opportunity to rectify Jinquandao and entrust Zhang Tie's brother Zhang Yang with important responsibilities in Jinquandao and the court. At that time, the relationship between Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie will be , His Highness uses Zhang Yang to use Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie can borrow candle oil to explore various continents and sub-continents. Even if His Highness does not master candle oil, he can still get the benefits of candle oil..." The scribe in Tsing Yi said every word.

Prince Changying let out a long sigh, "It's really a blessing for Changying to have Mr. Fang's help!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi bowed slightly to His Royal Highness, "The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fishes to leap. It is also a blessing of Qing Ming to be able to show my strengths beside His Highness!"

Prince Changying laughed loudly, full of ambition...

...

After Zhang Tie left the room of His Highness the Crown Prince, he originally wanted to wait for Bai Suxian and the others. Unexpectedly, Bai Suxian and the others had already left the lounge and arrived at the reception in the apse of the Anyan Palace. Zhang Tie smiled, Shaking his head, he also transferred from the front hall to the back hall.

Haven't entered the apse of Anyan Hall yet, but just above the corridor leading to the apse, the melodious sound of the violin from the apse appeared in Zhang Tie's ears, passing through the corridor, Zhang Tie instantly I feel bright.

In the apse of Anyan Hall, compared with the majestic and majestic front hall, it is a completely different scene, the fountain with water droplets flying, the beautiful Chinese royal courtyard, the crystal lamp like a pagoda, the snow-white tablecloth and the tablecloth on the dining table. Cakes and food, as well as palace attendants shuttled back and forth, beauties of all ethnic groups in fluttering dresses, and men chatting in twos and threes, all of which caught Zhang Tie's eyes...

Just when Zhang Tie had just appeared at the venue and was looking around, wanting to see where Bai Suxian and the others were, a slightly obese figure in a tuxedo passed a waiter and two people with lightning speed. Calling the crowd who were talking, he seized the starting position gracefully, calmly and swiftly, just like a boxer in the ring, nimbly stepping past several people who were trying to get close to Zhang Tie, with a smile on his face, the first One stood in front of Zhang Tie.

"Hello, Your Excellency Zhang Tie, first of all, please allow me to express my sincere respect for your glorious achievements on the banks of the Weishui River!" The man in a tuxedo saluted Zhang Tie gracefully, and introduced Himself, "Secondly, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Miles, the plenipotentiary diplomatic ambassador of the Republic of Lesa in Xuanyuan Zhangqiu..."

Zhang Tie glanced at this guy standing in front of him like a fat guinea pig, a smile appeared on his face, and then he stretched out his hand, and met Miles with Western etiquette, "Nice to meet you , Mr. Miles, my teacher Jerome and Captain Colin have already mentioned your name to me!"

(To be continued.)
