Chapter 200
Chapter 200
"Okay, it's time to go down." Throwing the cigarette into the goblet placed on the edge of the table, the red wine quickly extinguished the sparks, Wen Renjue stood up, stretched his muscles and bones on the spot, and slapped lazily a yawn.
Seeing this, Wei Duan was a little worried, "Has your drowsiness not eased recently?"
In the past, the owner also experienced drowsiness, but it gradually got better, but recently, for some reason, the owner started to feel sleepy again every day. He came here after he was full of sleep in the Wangju. How long did it take, and he yawned again It's been days.
"It doesn't matter." Wen Renjue walked towards the door, spread out his palms, stared at them thoughtfully for a while, "The energy of my body is still increasing."
"If you have any physical discomfort, please tell me immediately."
"En." Clutching the doorknob with both hands, Wen Ren Jue simply and neatly pulled the door open.
Dozens of burly men stood silently in the corridor, neatly dressed and dignified.
Wen Renjue walked past them and asked the man behind him, "Are all the ministers here?"
"Yes." The guard replied energetically, making him squint his eyes.
……
At seven o'clock in the evening, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent. At the door, more than a dozen waiters who were responsible for guiding the reception respectfully led two groups of people to enter one after another. The leader is a young man of 20 years old, very well dressed, and his hair is all shiny and clean.
After entering the hall, the young man in the lead took a look, walked around, and sat down at the first seat on the right as if there was no one else around.
Behind them, there was a group of more than ten big men strolling in. The leader was an elderly man, who looked gentle and refined on the outside, with a smile on his face, and greeted the people in the hall very amiably.
After the two groups of people entered, the door of the hall was closed from the outside, and the discussion gradually disappeared.
The group of people who came in later were led by the waiter to sit in the first seat on the left, which was different from the layout of the previous dinner parties. Tonight, behind the main seats, a lot of low tables were placed on the ground. It was quite novel, and everyone sat on the floor. on the blanket.
There were people sitting in the first seats on the left and right, and suddenly many waiters in uniforms appeared in the hall, leading everyone to sit in their seats in an orderly manner.
During this process, a few figures appeared at a leisurely pace in the dark place on the second floor. These people walked out of the darkness, reached the place where the light on the first floor could be illuminated, and when they were about to descend the steps, they all agreed to stop.
On the last four or five steps near the hall, one person stands one step at a time, standing quietly like a guardian.
The crowd who had been ushered to their seats began to discuss softly with their nearest acquaintances.
"How many ministers are they?"
"Yeah, look at the one above is Minister Lan."
"Could it be that the king has come?"
Everyone thought that Renrenjue was still in the royal residence and hadn't set off yet, how could they have known that he came directly after waking up, asked for a room on the third floor, and went back to sleep again.
"What are you doing?" Bai Tan was also guided to take a seat in the front seat.
Speaking of which, he hasn't seen anyone for a few days. Every time he wants to meet someone in Wangju, he has to try his best, and that damned man who always travels with a mask frowns every time he sees him, as if he It's like a big problem.
The most hateful thing is that every time I can't say three words, the other party will always throw out a sentence, "Be quiet."
"I'm not dead. If you don't talk, you can't suffocate!" Many low tables were placed behind the seat, where the entourage and subordinates brought to the distinguished guests in the hall sat. Bai Tan didn't bring a few people, and the one next to him was His personal servant in the king's residence heard him muttering to himself and seemed to be swearing again, the servant shrank his neck and did not dare to respond.
"What are you doing with such a big spectacle?" In Bai Tan's gaze, the originally flat hall floor suddenly bulged, and a high platform appeared in a particularly exaggerated way. On the high platform was a silver-white throne with huge eyes inlaid on the back. The pores all over the body are upside down.
"I remembered..." Faint words came out of his mouth, and Bai Tan clenched his hand tightly. The chair above him looked so strange. Don't mention him, he turned his head and looked at the people sitting around him, no matter their age or age, they were scheming. Deep and shallow, the surprise and a little bit of fear can't be restrained from the pupils at the moment.
The blood-red eyeball was inlaid on the back of the silver throne. It was made of unknown material, and it looked real.
Anyone who is stared coldly and condescendingly by such a huge eyeball will not have a good feeling. Bai Tan turned his head and searched in the completely quiet hall.
found it!
Gu Zhiqiu was sitting opposite him, but the seat was far behind him. Like everyone else, Gu Zhiqiu also showed a little surprise. His face was covered with a tulle. necklace.
"Is it that shocking?" Bai Tan murmured to himself again, he was a little amused, although Gu Zhiqiu was covered with a veil, he could still feel the surprised emotion from him.
Speaking of which, although I was somewhat intimidated, Wen Ren Jue's perverted aesthetic vision was strange, and he used to touch his eyes so seriously, saying that he wanted to dig them out, such horrible words.
Under the gaze of hundreds of people, several ministers walked towards the throne calmly.
Standing left and right on the steps under the throne.
Although Shu Yi was not a minister, his status was more special than theirs, so he naturally stepped forward and stood on the steps under the throne with several ministers.
Everyone is waiting for someone to arrive.
Wenren Jue pulled up the royal clothes on his body under the attention of all the people.
Dissatisfied in his mind, he discussed with Weiduan, "Can someone watch and change it?"
He was totally unaware of the need for the thing that widened from left to right on the shoulders like the brim of a hat, and the silver-white cloak that fell half a meter behind him was also in the way.
"How can you have such an idea? You are the last lord of our god race, you put on our royal clothes, this matter..." Wei Duan, a semi-intelligent existence who has always been indifferent and even cold-blooded, Now he let out a sob in a hypocritical manner.
Wen Renjue had a headache, he had actually hinted at this matter many times, and he made it clear tonight that Wei Duan couldn't avoid it, so he actually changed his strategy.
"That's all." After his feet stepped on the ground, he put down the hem of the skirt that he was pulling.
That's right, this damn king's suit for the dinner party was so wide that it didn't bother him, and it actually looked like a skirt.
"Ah, what a noble and holy garment." Wei Duan emphasized in Wen Ren Jue's mind with admiration.
"Tsk." There is no point in talking too much, it seems too naive to argue with Wei Duan or forceful orders over this kind of thing, and although the clothes don't meet his own aesthetics, but to others... it's quite shocking.
On the silver-white fabric, I don’t know what kind of embroidery threads are used. The patterns are exquisite and mysterious, ranging from the strange patterns on the back to the small chain decorations on the collar and cuffs. Every detail seems to have been accumulated for thousands of years. Very strict specifications.
This sense of solemnity came from nowhere, coupled with that mysterious mask, everyone instinctively lowered their heads for a moment, not daring to detect the facial features and expressions behind the mask.
There are five steps under the throne. Wen Renjue walked through many people before stepping onto the raised platform in the middle.
Heihu, who was guarding the bottom, knelt down quietly, and after landing on one knee, said softly: "King."
Wen Ren Jue didn't respond, he looked up at the highest silver throne, and stepped slowly step by step.
There were still people kneeling silently on the steps, and Shuyi saw a pair of silver-white boots passing in front of him in his lowered eyes.
Then, there was a slight sound of cloth rubbing against each other, and Wen Renjue's deep voice sounded above his head.
"good evening."
It was a very easy-going greeting, but everyone in the hall knelt down on one knee and responded in unison: "King."
The first seats on the left and right were distinguished guests from the outer districts, so there was no reason to kneel down, but at this time, they still stood together, with their right hands placed on their left chests, and they bent down.
"Sit down, I'm glad to see you here tonight." Unlike some people who secretly speculated in their hearts, Wen Renjue did not deliberately play with his majesty. On the contrary, his tone was very gentle, and so were his eyes, although The whole face was covered by a mask, but when everyone raised their heads, they could see the kindness in his slender eyes exposed outside.
Everyone sat down again, and stood up one by one with the ministers kneeling under the steps of the throne, but they didn't leave. Instead, they stood on the steps like ordinary guards, looking down at the hall as if nothing had happened.
His eyes barely lingered over them, and Wen Renjue looked at his target for tonight.
"Your Majesty." Someone stood up on the right seat. It was the defiant young man from before. He looked around and walked directly under the throne with his long legs, ignoring everyone's looking and observing eyes. , staring straight at the noble man seven or eight steps away from him.
After staring at the meeting calmly, he just said calmly: "My brother, the king of the thirteenth district, is deeply sorry for not being able to come in person because of important matters in the king's district, so he asked me to come here on his behalf and bring Come to him to pick out the gift by himself. My brother said that he hopes that our friendship will be higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea. He also hopes that you can go to the thirteenth district to see for yourself when you have time. He has prepared fine wine. "
Even if he is impatient, he also knows that there must be no excuses for this kind of occasion. Even if the thirteenth district has always looked down on this man, but the attack on the front line of the tenth district has now become a stalemate. The district underestimated this cooperative "partner".
As the representative of the king, the younger brother of the king of the thirteenth district, and the leader of this diplomacy, Zhan Hejue felt that he had a heavy responsibility.
Wen Renjue smiled and nodded on the throne, and said in a loud voice: "Of course, I have always wanted to meet your brother in person. I believe that we will be like-minded friends and brothers. The relationship between us, even if it is the best Hard crystal nuclei are incomparable."
"Hypocrisy!" Bai Tan unconsciously turned his eyes to the sky.
Unlike other people who listened intently, he saw that Ren Jue spoke, and he was very serious at first, but slowly he couldn't help complaining.
Fortunately, no one will notice him at this time.
Wenren spoke the truth in his mouth, but he didn't put his eyes on Zhan He, but kept looking down.
The location of Bai Tan was naturally his focus.
Zhan He stood at the door for a while before entering the hall, because there were many people with him, and they had to register one by one. At that time, Bai Tan was still playing the piano.
Wen Ren Jue has heavenly eyes, so naturally he would not miss his reaction.
He should be more or less interested in Bai Tan.
Zhan Hepburn didn't pay much attention to Wenren Jue's words, but gradually he was somewhat moved, because what the king said was too sincere.
He seems to really want to maintain a good relationship with the thirteenth district.
Thinking of this, Zhan He turned his head and ordered his followers to be more serious.
Some people retreated, and after a while, guards from the thirteenth district escorted the congratulatory gifts into the hall, and displayed those beautifully shaped gifts one by one in front of everyone.
Wen Renjue lowered his head halfway, his eyes seemed to be focused on the gift, but from the corner of his eye, he kept staring at Bai Tan.
Seeing people swaying from side to side in his position as if suffering from ADHD, like him, Bai Tan obviously didn't care about the gift from the thirteenth district at all.
That's right, interstellar people.
These seemingly weird high-tech on earth should be of little interest to him.
Wen Renjue pursed his lips, but because of the cover of the mask, no one noticed that his focus and mood had changed.
In the line of sight, the servant behind Bai Tan didn't know what to say, which made Bai Tan's eyes widen and he stuffed the meat into the other's mouth.
Although he paid some attention to Bai Tan, Wen Renjue would never forget what his purpose was tonight, and immediately paid attention to Zhan He's cessation of words, and his eyes fell on those things he didn't pay attention to at all with admiration On the gift, thank you: "I like these very much, please be sure to tell your brother when you go back."
Zhan He was a little proud, because his elder brother only selected a few gifts this time, and he was responsible for purchasing the rest. Being able to get the appreciation of the co-owner of the three districts shows his vision and ability to handle affairs.
Seeing the people in the thirteenth district retreat, the elderly man on the left moved his body and was about to get up.
Before the official start of the dinner, the guests from the outer districts offered gifts and paid respects to the king of the host family.
Bai Tan was still looking around at his own position, he was trying to figure out how to make a commotion.
He follows the Lord, so naturally no one dares to search him.
One hand fell under the table, and his right hand tightly held the handle of the gun at his waist.
Thinking hard, racking his brains, he didn't even notice that the hall was quiet again, gifts and blessings were delivered, and Zhan He had returned to his place.
Before the representatives from the nineteenth district attended, Wen Renjue, who was seated above, suddenly moved.
Resting his chin with one hand, he casually pointed to where Bai Tan was, and ordered softly, "Bring him up."
All eyes in the hall followed the direction of his fingers for a moment.
Exploring, inspecting, observing, speculating, all kinds of sharp eyes with different meanings shrouded the white sandalwood in the center.
The young man under the eyes of everyone is still peeking at other places.
Until the nagging servant behind him called him intermittently again, "Follow... follow... follow the master... the master..."
I was nervous and nervous, and there was a servant who called you like a ghost at any time, Bai Tan was about to explode, and couldn't bear it anymore, he turned around and shouted at others: "Master, Lord, what is the Lord? Be careful, I will boil you! I... "
"Uh..." He was unusually slow to notice that he, who was supposed to be very low-key, had become the focus of everyone's attention at some point, the smile on Bai Tan's face completely froze, and the corner of his mouth was grinning, and he looked at his side tremblingly The person cast a questioning look, "Why... what's wrong?"
