Chapter 477 Qionghua Banquet

Zhao Heng looked at Meng Qi for a long time before sighing, "The more skilled, the more courageous..."

In addition to the fact that Duozi Lane was close to Changming Street, which allowed Meng Qi to arrive in a few breaths and hide in his own mansion, the whole process was also full of dangers. If he had not grasped the timing properly, and if he could not kill a half-step outsider within two or three moves, Meng Qi would not even have a chance to escape!

Such an action must be based on strong confidence in one's own strength, and must fully understand the opponent and the patrol rules of the Prince of Jin's Mansion. Both are indispensable, so Zhao Heng praised Meng Qi for his skills and courage.

Meng Qi shook his head and smiled, "If I can't kill Yang Wuliang within three moves, I will immediately escape and never do anything to show off my strength."

This is the style of the Wolf King, and Meng Qi unconsciously imitated it in the assassination.

According to the information provided by the Immortal Trace Mission, he was only 50% sure of killing Yang Wuliang quickly, but he was confident that he could not stop him.

"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. The capital of the gods is full of twists and turns. There are plenty of opportunities to kill Yang Wuliang, such as when the third brother went to the banquet." Zhao Heng frowned slightly, still thinking that Meng Qi was a bit reckless.

Meng Qi drank a sip of tea and said calmly: "I don't want to mix this matter with the mission, so I'll finish it quickly first."

This is a mission of the immortals. If it is completed in the main line, it is very likely that others will discover his identity as "Yuanshi Tianzun". As for now, few people know that Kuang Dao has arrived in the capital of the gods!

Zhao Heng couldn't say anything else, and reminded: "A half-step guest official was attacked and killed in the palace. It is a crazy thing. The six gates will have to investigate carefully. You'd better not go out these days."

He exhaled: "But it's good this way. If we don't alert the snake, we can see if the third brother is up to no good..."

"This is also one of the purposes of my direct action." Meng Qi shamelessly flattered himself.

Although he did have similar ideas, due to the unclear main line, who knows whether Zhao Lao San will be involved, so he didn't take it to heart.

A few days later, the court was furious and ordered the Six Gates to investigate the matter thoroughly and arrest such a daring and lawless thief as soon as possible. The Six Gates also felt ashamed and quietly searched the whole city, mobilized many local snakes, arrested many famous people on the sea arrest documents, and solved one old case after another, but there was still no news about the ancient blue-clothed man.

It is said that a fortune-teller made a hexagram to get clues, but the result pointed to "immortals", which made people laugh.

——When Meng Qi was wearing the Yuanshi mask and acting with the identity and aura of Tianzun, if he did not leave any traces pointing to himself, all the divination and cause and effect tracing would be borne by Xianji, otherwise how could their members be so secretive? They had been caught by the masters who had noticed it long ago!

For a while, the people of the capital were in panic, and King Jin offered a large reward to find clues.

But he was not as angry as outsiders thought, which made many court officials secretly praise him for his deepening mansion.

On this day, a woman wearing a gauze hat appeared in Zhao Heng's secret room. She was dressed in moon-white clothes and looked cool and indifferent.

Meng Qi smiled at the other person and said, "You are here much earlier than I expected."

The person who came was Ruan Yushu. She took off her gauze hat, revealing a delicate and cold face. There was almost no childishness on her face. She said calmly, "After knowing that the mission was in my own world, I began to prepare for the trip. When it was confirmed to be the capital of the gods, I immediately told my family that I was going to Zhongzhou to hone my skills."

Is this a bright road? Meng Qi's eyes lit up and he was quite happy. If the mission required the resources of the Ruan family in the capital of the gods, it would not be abrupt!

He gave a thumbs up and praised, "Smart!"

Ruan Yushu raised her head slightly and looked at the beams of the house: "My grandparents, father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all the grandfathers and uncles..."

She reported many names, which made Meng Qi dizzy and didn't know what it meant.

"...They also praised me in this way." Ruan Yushu was not embarrassed at all, and looked as if it was natural and reasonable.

She is really the most favored child in the family... It seems that she likes to be praised... Meng Qi quietly wiped the cold sweat and changed the subject: "I went to Northern Zhou and the grassland this year. Their food has a unique flavor and is very different from that of the Great Jin..."

Ruan Yushu immediately sat down quietly and listened very attentively. She asked about the details from time to time. Her throat moved slightly. After hearing that Meng Qi killed the snow monster, she blurted out: "Can it be eaten?"

"Haha." Meng Qi laughed immediately. This was exactly the same reaction as her own.

Ruan Yushu thought she had asked the wrong question and said regretfully: "It turns out that it can't be eaten."

"The meat is sour and astringent." Meng Qi stopped laughing and told her the truth.

Ruan Yushu frowned and looked very attentive: "There are many ways to remove the sourness, but it depends on the quality of the meat itself, such as adding cooking wine..."

When the two were discussing, Zhao Heng led a "stranger" dressed in green clothes in. His facial features were ordinary and indistinguishable from the crowd.

However, Meng Qi recognized his aura at a glance, waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Qi, in just one year, you have become more handsome and outstanding, outstanding..."

Qi Zhengyan ignored his nonsense and said expressionlessly: "My Zi Xinghe has already achieved great success."

This is his goal for his cultivation this year. Now he said it frankly, neither showing off nor shrinking.

"Not bad." Meng Qi restrained his playful smile and said sincerely.

He was not surprised at Qi Zhengyan's progress, because the Hun Tian Bao Jian had been cultivating the alien energy between heaven and earth since the beginning, and could mobilize the power of heaven and earth a little. As long as Qi Zhengyan's nine orifices were opened, it would be natural for him to enter the realm of heaven and man. It would not take long.

"I have traveled to several states in the south this year, and I have gained a lot. However, you can kill the wolf king, so I am afraid you have gained more. Your strength, mind and will should have made great progress..." Qi Zhengyan did not question, but affirmed, with some emotion and admiration in his tone.

Meng Qi said "modestly": "No, no, it's just that the unity of heaven and man is perfect."

"I am almost at the unity of heaven and man." Ruan Yushu suddenly whispered.

"Ah?" Meng Qi was quite surprised. Ruan Yushu's strength progressed faster than he thought. He thought she could only communicate with heaven and man at most.

Zhao Heng chuckled and said: "Sister Yushu is born with a piano heart. It is natural that she can communicate with heaven and man and achieve unity with heaven and man faster than ordinary people."

This is a talent, and you can't be jealous.

After hearing Zhao Heng's explanation, Meng Qi keenly felt that Ruan Yushu was a little depressed. He smiled and said, "No matter how talented you are, without your own perseverance, persistence and intelligence, you can't break through so quickly."

Ruan Yushu's mouth curled up slightly, looked up at the window, and nodded slightly.

At this moment, the familiar voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded in the ears of several people:

"All four of you have arrived in the capital of the gods. The main task one is completed, and the main task two is started."

"Main task two, sneak into the Qionghua Banquet. If any one of the four wins the first place, you will be rewarded with 1,500 merits. If you fail, you will be deducted from the corresponding merits. The same applies to those who fail to sneak in."

"Qionghua Banquet?" Meng Qi frowned and whispered, then looked at Zhao Heng. He was a local snake and should know.

Zhao Heng's face sank: "Father plans to hold the Qionghua Banquet in August when the autumn is high, to compete in martial arts and essays, and to evaluate talents. It is rumored that he is dissatisfied with the prince, and he will use this banquet to test us brothers."

Choosing the prince in a roundabout way? Meng Qi suddenly smelled the smell of blood and gore.

"How can I join the Qionghua Banquet?" Qi Zhengyan asked the most critical question.

Zhao Heng said solemnly: "In theory, I can only bring one person to the banquet."

"And if we get involved with him, wouldn't it be obvious that we would tell the 'myth' that he is a reincarnator?" Meng Qi felt it was difficult.

"We have to go to the banquet through other channels." Ruan Yushu said seriously, "and then secretly help him get the emperor's appreciation. As for the matter of the top spot, whoever is better will take it."

Meng Qi nodded and said: "Well, we have to find out what qualifications are needed to attend the banquet."

"We also have to find out what things are tested in advance." Qi Zhengyan reminded that the task of several people is to win the top spot.

"Where should we start?" Meng Qi looked at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng's expression suddenly became strange: "'Marquis of Shenwei' Su Li is the deputy commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace. He is deeply trusted by my father. This Qionghua Banquet will be supervised by him..."

After ranking first on the list of people, Meng Qi became the focus of attention of the people in the world. His life experience was more or less investigated, so Qi Zhengyan and Ruan Yushu looked at him.

Meng Qi didn't expect that the cause and effect would come so quickly. He was shocked and stuttered a little: "You, what are you looking at me for? I tell you, I sell art but not my body!"

The next sentence he said was half a joke and half an expression of his inner emotions. What should be faced must be faced.

Puff, Ruan Yushu was rarely amused, and he pulled up his face and said seriously: "I have the help of my family. It is not difficult to participate in the Qionghua Banquet. It's up to you how you choose."

Meng Qi exhaled: "I will leave Beijing first, and then enter the capital of God openly as a mad knife."

…………

On the edge of the capital, a team of escorts were rushing on the road at night. No one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed very solidified.

"Master Escort, why did the Chief Escort suddenly leave? Everyone is a little panicked..." Finally, one of the escorts couldn't hold it in anymore and asked.

He was in his twenties, and looked a little weak and scholarly, but his eyes were firm and deep, which made people not underestimate him.

The Master Escort forced a smile and said, "Changqing, don't worry, it's just that the darts this time are important, and the Chief Escort is afraid of mistakes, so after arriving in the capital, he went all out and tried to get back to the capital as soon as possible."

"The darts are important?" It was the first time that Gu Changqing knew that the darts he had escorted all the way were so precious.

No wonder the Chief Escort secretly lurked in the team and left alone after arriving in the capital!

"Master Escort, are you asking us to lead the enemy away?" Another escort asked.

The Master Escort laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? The darts are not on us, how can the enemy kill us all?"

He glanced at Gu Changqing and said, "Changqing, let everyone follow and rest after crossing the river."

Gu Changqing nodded calmly, turned around with his sword, and comforted the escort.

"Don't worry, Escort Captain Gu. The robbers won't make things difficult for us when they see that the chief escort captain is not here. We are just seeking money." An experienced escort master comforted Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing nodded slightly and sighed, "It's a pity that I am not strong enough, otherwise why would I be afraid of the robbers who hijacked the escort?"

In the past three years, he has worked hard to improve his strength, from the four orifices when he first arrived in the capital of gods to the current seven orifices. He has won the attention of the Zhongzhou Escort Agency, and the Xie family, who were initially cold to him, have gradually changed their attitude.

However, this is still far from being an enemy... Every time at this time, he feels frustrated.

The escort was about to speak, and suddenly there were ghosts and wolves howling around the hills, and figures jumped out from everywhere, surrounding the team.

"Humph, old man Jiang deliberately left to lead us to track, the darts are actually still hidden here, right?" The leader wore a wide robe, his hair was slightly blue, and he looked like an evil ghost under the night.

The head escort's pupils shrank and he took a step back: "But the Hungry Ghost of Luo Sect is here? With our strength, how can we escort such an important dart?"

The green-haired evil ghost smiled coldly: "Don't worry, Jiang Lao has the Six Devil Brothers of Mie Tian Men to intercept him. We in Luo Sect have always killed the wrong person and never let him go!"

Luo Sect and Mie Tian Men colluded with each other? The head escort, Gu Changqing and others were all shocked when they heard this.
