Text Chapter 1643: Banquet at the Palace

They believe that others dare not cause trouble on such occasions, but they really have no confidence in Miao Yi. They have learned from past experiences. If there is anyone in the world who dares to cause trouble on the happy occasion of the Emperor of Heaven, this is definitely the one!

The other three people at the table looked at each other speechlessly. The three of them had the same status as Miao Yi. They were all sons-in-law of the Kou family, but they were real sons-in-law. Their wives were all the biological daughters of King Kou Tian. Unlike Yun Zhiqiu, who was just a son-in-law. Adopted daughter.

The second generation of the Kou family, including Yun Zhiqiu, the siblings are Kou Zheng, Kou Dan, Kou Qing, Kou Qin, Kou Mian, Kou Ruo, and Yun Zhiqiu.

Qian Lu married Kou Dan, Chu Jian married Kou Qing, and Sheng Muxue married Kou Ruo.

&n,;Qian Lu is now one of the seventy-two lords of Heaven; Chu Jian was originally Kou Lingxu’s confidant, but after marrying Mi Qing, he gradually became the current role of the Kou family’s chief of bodyguards, and also the Kou family’s brother-in-law. The only one who lives in the Kou family and has not been separated, he can be said to have the power to guard the Kou family's courtyard; Muxue was promoted because his father was Kou Lingxu's confidant in the early years, and his father died fighting to save Kou Lingxu during the war. , although Sheng Muxue was weak, it was difficult for Kou Lingxu to help him up even if he wanted to. However, thinking of his father's loyalty to the savior, he betrothed his youngest daughter to Sheng Muxue, which could be regarded as repaying his father's life-saving grace and saving his life. Sheng Muxue's life's glory and wealth were finally explained to her father and those who served her.

Regardless of Sheng Muxue's abilities, even though he was only a casual position and had little power, his rank had risen. Like Qian Lu and Chu Jian, they were now at the level of red-armored generals. Among the brothers-in-law, Miao Yi is still the lowest ranked.

The three of them stood up one after another. Qian Lu and Chu Jian also went to persuade Miao Yi. Only Sheng Muxue walked up to Ni Wenbai, who looked ugly, patted his shoulder and reminded him: "Wen Bai. Don't think about it. That's wrong, your uncle didn't mean anything against you, he went for that one, here..." He pursed his lips toward the Ying family, "Ying Yang!"

Sheng Muxue is a good old man of the Kou family and has nothing to worry about anyway. He was free and at ease all day long, not offending anyone, not fighting for anything, and even restraining his children to live a low-key life. In short, he was determined not to get involved in the secret competition between the Kou family's children. He would not get involved with either side. His attitude had always been this. He would not offend anyone and remained friendly to everyone. As time went by, no one would win over him. . For this good old man, no matter who the Kou family is, they will never forget him. After all, his wife Kou Ruo is still the daughter of Kou Lingxu.

After hearing his explanation, Ni Wenbai looked towards the Ying family and understood. He had naturally heard about the matter in the Paradise. It seemed that it was not directed at him. He had something in mind. Busy and whispered: "Uncle, he doesn't want to cause trouble on this occasion, does he?"

Sheng Muxue gave him a meaningful look. With a 'what do you think' look, he turned around and headed towards Miao Yi, following the trend to dissuade him.

Ni Wenbai was immediately frightened. He had naturally heard of Miao Yi's cheap uncle. He was someone who dared to cause trouble at the Emperor's wedding ceremony and slapped Ying Jiuguang in the face in public. How could he be afraid of the children of the Ying family?

After everyone's repeated persuasion, Miao Yi said: "Brother, since you don't believe me so much, you might as well accompany me there. If I make trouble, stop it immediately."

You guys look at me, I look at you, Kou Qin frowned and said, "It's not that I don't believe you. Since there's no trouble, why do you have to go over and toast to make yourself uncomfortable?"

Miao Yi: "I just saw that he was too happy and wanted to go over and give him some trouble."

He was telling the truth, it almost killed him, and he was still drinking here so happily. It didn't matter if he didn't see it, but it was a bit difficult to pretend that he didn't see it. And why did you join the Kou family? If you still have to suffer this kind of injustice even after joining the Kou family, then you would be really sorry for yourself, so I thought... it would be best to make the other party cause trouble.

However, this is impossible. Kou Zheng and others cannot let him run over now. If the Kou family is not here to pay back the debt, and let Miao Yi go over and cause trouble here, the old man will not be able to deal with the problem later.

Kou Zheng even secretly sent a message to Ying Wuman from the Ying family, "Tell your son to stay away. If something happens later, don't blame me for not saying hello."

The four heavenly kings are very fair. Each has three sons and three daughters. Ying Jiuguang's three sons are named Ying Wuman, Ying Wuque and Ying Wufei respectively.

Ying Wuman was the boss of the Ying family. After hearing this, he looked back and saw the Kou family stopping Miao Yi there. He immediately understood the meaning of Kou Zheng's words. Chuanyin sneered: "Are you scaring me? Think of me as Ying. Are you afraid that you will invade the Kou family?"

"Scaring you?" Kou Zheng snorted, not bothering to argue with him. He turned around, raised his hand and grabbed Miao Yi's wrist, and dragged him back regardless of Miao Yi's excuse.

Witnessing this scene, Ying Wuman's heart sank slightly. Miao Yi did not take him seriously. The key was the Kou family's attitude. The refusal of the two Dutong positions was what worried the Ying family the most. He didn't know what happened next. If the Kou family wants to attack any of the children of the Ying family, if the Ying family can do it in the first year of junior high school, the Kou family can do it in the fifteenth grade. It may not be specifically targeting Ying Yang.

"Ying Yang, please leave the table first and go back home." Finally, Ying Wuman sent a message to his son at the other table.

Seeing the way Miao Yi was eyeing Ying Yang, he didn't want Ying Yang and Miao Yi to run into each other. It wasn't because he was afraid of Miao Yi, but if he made trouble at this time, even if it was justified, he would lose the face of the Emperor of Heaven, the Queen of Heaven and the Xiahou family. It stands to reason that most people would not dare to cause trouble on such occasions, but that guy Niu Youde is really unruly. If the Kou family hadn't stopped him just now, something might have happened.

He asked Ying Yang to go back because he still had a long time in the Imperial Garden today. He was worried that Miao Yi would keep staring at Ying Yang. He might bump into Ying Yang again. If something happened on the auspicious day of amnesty, no one would have a good time. He might as well avoid Miao Yi.

Among the guards on the steps outside the hall, someone was looking down at the people attending the banquet below. The reaction of the Kou family caught his eye and was quickly fed back to Shangguan Qing.

In the hall, in the middle of the banquet, the four heavenly kings went to the side hall one after another under the pretext of washing their hands.

The Qing Lord, who was sitting high on the throne, glanced at the vacant seat below. Shangguan Qing timely transmitted the message to the Qing Lord about the movement outside.

Qingzhu secretly snorted: "He wants to make trouble on my wedding day again. Is that monkey kid tired of living? Didn't the Ying family reach a compromise with the Kou family secretly?"

Shangguan Qing: "I don't know what happened specifically, but there are some interesting things. Recently, the Ying family has been keeping a close watch on their children, and the Ying family's children have greatly reduced their outings."

"Oh!" Qingzhu was happy, "It seems that the Kou family doesn't want to make peace this time. The Ying family is a little scared."

Shangguan Qing: "This old servant also suspects that this is the case. This is also the Ying family's own fault. Niu Youde has offended so many people. If things are done cleanly, I'm afraid no one will be able to judge who did it. It's just that the Ying family is not doing things well and has repeatedly exposed themselves. I guess they really angered the Kou family."

Glancing at the empty positions of the four heavenly kings, Qingzhu sneered, "It's interesting, but I'm afraid that the dogs can't bite each other."

In the side hall, the four heavenly kings surrounded the basin, Hao Defang and Guanglinggong faced each other, and Ying Jiuguang and Kou Lingxu faced each other.

Among the four, only Kou Lingxu put down his hands and washed them slowly in the basin sprinkled with flower petals. Ying Jiuguang, who was staring at him, seemed to be a little bit itchy. In front of these people, there was no need to pretend to be deep.

"Old ghost Kou, it's not good for everyone to continue to make trouble. The only one who benefited was the one in the hall. Besides, Niu Youde was fine. Stop while you are ahead." Hao Defang advised.

Kou Lingxu smiled faintly: "What you said, losing all the money is not the work of the Ying family. I admit it. I don't seem to have done anything to the Ying family, right? Why are you following me?"

Guanglinggong: "Okay. Don't talk in secret in front of people. Some things are known to everyone. If you fail, you fail. Accept the punishment."

In order to protect the interests of their class, the four kings will pull other people to negotiate and seek a proper solution when they encounter things that are difficult to reconcile with each other. It is not worth it to fight to the death. Unless they are completely at a disadvantage and have lost the qualification to negotiate and can only be slaughtered, there are fights and cooperation between the four.

After the Kou family rejected the positions of the two generals, Ying Jiuguang knew that he was in trouble and took the opportunity to inform Hao Defang and Guang Linggong.

In fact, the four kings tried their best to avoid attacking each other's families unless they had to. Otherwise, counterattacks would consume each family.

Kou Lingxu sneered: "Accept the punishment? I will accept the punishment later."

Ying Jiuguang couldn't hold back his anger and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense and name a price."

This matter must be resolved. It's a small matter that the children of the Ying family dare not go out, so it's really not worth it to let others laugh at him, Ying Jiuguang. He can't even protect his children at home, let alone outsiders, how will his children at home see him?

Kou Lingxu looked up and said, "I don't want your compensation, but you're still not happy?"

Ying Jiuguang: "Old Kou, I advise you not to go too far. Niu Youde is not your biological daughter's man. With his cultivation and status, I am willing to give you two positions of the governor, which is already a great honor for you. What's more, that guy has nothing wrong with him and has come back alive. What else do you want?"

Kou Lingxu: "Lose all, are you looking for trouble?"

Ying Jiuguang was furious, pointing at Kou Lingxu opposite him, and said to the two on the left and right: "Look at , It's not that I don't follow the rules, it's that he's being unreasonable, there's no way to talk about this. Well, you don't want to let go, right? Fine, I'll see who's afraid of who, at worst we'll both perish together!"

Hao Defang and Guang Linggong looked at each other and nodded slightly. Hao Defang said, "How about this, everyone takes a step back, loses all three positions, Kou Laogui stops, and this matter is over, how about it?"

Guang Linggong: "I think it's okay, what do you two think?"

Ying Jiuguang snorted coldly, "I admit it this time!" It was considered an agreement.

Unexpectedly, Kou Lingxu said calmly: "I said, I don't want compensation."

The other three people's faces changed at the same time, and Hao Defang said in a deep voice: "Old Kou, you mean that you must go to war, right?"

Kou Lingxu shook his head, "It's not that I want to go to war, but the Ying family has repeatedly killed Niu Youde. I want to appease him, but I can't say anything. He has made it clear in front of me that he doesn't want anything but Ying Yang's head!"

Guang Linggong: "I don't believe that you can't control him with your means."

Kou Lingxu continued to wash his hands with his eyebrows lowered, saying: "Although I promised him, I also made one thing clear to him. The Kou family will not do anything to the children of the Ying family. If he wants Ying Yang's head, he can take it himself. I have done this. Do you still have any objections?"

"It seems a bit unreasonable for us to stay silent all the time." Hao Defang suddenly said this, and left with his hands behind his back.

"It's better not to keep your majesty waiting for a long time." Guang Linggong said happily, and turned around and left.

Kou Lingxu raised his wet hands and splashed water on Ying Jiuguang's face. "If it happens again, don't blame me for being rude!" After saying that, he left.

A light floated in front of Ying Jiuguang, freezing the water droplets in the air. The light was retracted, and the water column fell into the basin. He didn't say anything about Kou Lingxu's rude behavior, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned and left...

When Miao Yi, who was freed from the toasts of a group of juniors, looked at the Ying family halfway through the banquet, he found that Ying Yang was gone and didn't know where he went, so he also found an excuse to leave.

"Brother, he..." Kou Qin gestured.

Others also had a toothache, but who would have thought that Kou Zheng shook his head and signaled not to worry about Miao Yi, because he had already discovered that Ying Yang had left. It would be strange if Ying Wuman didn't leave early to take precautions.

They were not wrong. Miao Yi was indeed obsessed with Ying Yang, but he was not a fool. He knew that if he caused trouble at this time, he would not be as lucky as last time and could go to the ancient dead land to survive. No one could save him if he offended the power of heaven one after another.

So he would not cause trouble, but made up his mind to find Ying Yang, let Ying Yang take the initiative to cause trouble, and see if he could trap Ying Yang to death. It was not that he had a strong desire for revenge, but because he knew in his heart that if he missed this time, it would not be so easy to do it to Ying Yang next time. The Kou family had already alerted the enemy by rejecting the positions of the two generals. In the future, the protection around Ying Yang would definitely not be something he could move at will, so he did not want to miss this opportunity.

However, after searching around, he could not find Ying Yang's figure. Although there were many places open to guests in the palace today, some places were not accessible to him. He could not enter the hall where the Qingzhu held banquets, and it was estimated that Ying Yang could not hide there. The place where the Queen of Heaven held banquets in the back garden was full of female relatives, and there were many concubines in the harem, and male guests would not be allowed to enter.

Ying Yang did not find it, but slowly stopped between the pavilions and waterside pavilions in the viewing garden. A natural rockery formed by white jade stood between the ponds, and a phoenix with colorful feathers was curled up on the magnificent rockery.

Miao Yi walked out of the pavilion and slowly walked to the terrace beside the pond. Standing on the edge of the terrace, only two meters away from the rockery, he looked up at the quiet phoenix on the rockery.

The scenery was ethereal and picturesque, with the Jade Mountain and the colorful phoenix on top, and the people below the Qionglou looking at it across the water, one high, one low, this scene was quite picturesque.

After a while of silence, Miao Yi quietly looked around. After a group of fairies walked out of the garden one after another, Miao Yi, who was looking around, suddenly turned his hand and clenched it. I don’t know what he grabbed in his palm. Only a faint ice-blue ripple appeared around his clenched fist. (To be continued.)
