Chapter 38

On the first day of the first lunar month, the king of Beidou set up the Tusu Festival. At night, every family hung red lanterns under the eaves. The snow on the street had been swept to the roadside, countless fireworks were launched, and firecrackers sounded. There is a poem said: "the sound of firecrackers in the year, the spring breeze send warm into Tu su.". Thousands of families always exchange the new peach for the old one This is the grand occasion of Tusu Festival. Tusu Festival is the Spring Festival, when a large number of people rush to the streets, dragon and lion dance, universal celebration, a flourishing scene.

At this time, the house of princes and nobles in Tianjing City is full of lights, and servants come in and go out. It's a busy scene.

Every year on the Tusu Festival, his majesty will have a feast for his ministers, and all Gaoming's wives, princes and ladies will also be invited by the empress to the palace to spend the festival with the empress.

At the same time, the princes and young talents of Tianjing City will also be invited by the royal family to get together and enjoy the palace food.

This is the most lively festival of the year, and it is also the most anticipated festival for all the princes' children and talented people.

"Master, master... Are you ready? Time is coming, madam, let me urge you to change your clothes and go quickly! " The servant girl who changed the royal guards, across the door, patted the lattice of the window and said anxiously.

"Ryukyu, I know. I'll get dressed and go." Gu fan recovered from his practice, opened his eyes and said to the door. Since stepping into the Congtian level, Gu fan has learned to seize the slightest bit of time to improve his strength in order to improve his martial arts level faster.

After stepping into the heaven level, you can refine the pure Qi of heaven and earth, and the effect of meditation is much better than boxing.

"Well, it's not too late." With a sigh of relief, Gu fan got up from the bed, went to the ground, and grabbed a blue Confucian robe hanging in the living room. However, Gu fan wore a black strong suit in this loose Confucian robe. Gu fan took a look at some of his nondescript clothes and went out with a smile.

"Young master." The two servants outside the door grabbed a thick fox fur coat and came over to put it on Gu fan.

”No, I'm not cold. "

Gu fan waved back two servants and walked out. Today, on the Tusu Festival, the royal family of Beidou is going to entertain the talented young people in Tianjing City to show their boundless kindness. He can't be late.

After Gu fan got on the bus, the mighty dragon drove to the palace.

Gu fan opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw the water and horses on the streets of Tianjing City, with constant laughter. Looking down from the sky, you can see a carriage burning charcoal and hanging red lanterns, driving from all the palaces to the imperial palace. In the dark, the palace of the Beidou Dynasty is like a lion lying on the ground, looking at the earth with burning eyes.

"Boom" a loud bang, countless bright fireworks blooming in the sky, the whole Tianjing City are rendered colorful, just like the day.

After a lot of checks and several times of invitation, the carriage of Pingyuan Marquis's house drove into the palace.

"The palace has arrived. Please get off the train!"

On the square of Youda, you can see the outline of the Imperial City in the distance. The imperial guards are listed and guarded strictly. As soon as you get out of the carriage, a eunuch comes over and says to Gu fan:

"Shizi, Xuantian hall is here. Please follow me."

Far away, Gufan saw a brightly lit hall in the southwest of the imperial city. From a distance, you can feel a heat wave coming from the main hall, which is obviously the Xuantian hall where the banquet is going to be held.

I saw countless palace maids holding the red lacquer wooden plates were lining up in a long line and walking towards the Xuantian hall. Gu fan followed the eunuch and looked at the plants in the palace. Countless red lanterns had been hung on the bare branches, as if it had warmed the whole winter night. But Gu fan thought more at this time, even in a trance, he had the illusion that he was still Hou Guyun of the plain. At this time, he was called to discuss affairs by the star emperor.

Thinking of the star emperor, Gu fan's mood became extremely complicated.

Suddenly ahead, the father-in-law who led the way turned a corner and disappeared immediately.

"Well? I'm being watched. " Gu fan was alert to draw his right hand around his waist, ready to move at any time. He saw a figure coming from the corner. The man was wearing a golden dress, his hair was tied by a gold ribbon, his eyes were like Gujing wubo, and he held a red sword in his right hand. In the Imperial City, the clothing is a symbol of hierarchy, so whether it's gold clothing, or licensed to wear a sword, or even the unique calm expression, all show the identity of the bearer: Prince xingaochen!

"It's you?" Gu fan gave a slightly hostile look and held his right hand more tightly.

"Gufan, long time no see." The star Ao dust to Gu fan slightly smile for a while, seem to be expressing to his good will.

"Star aochen, if you want to take advantage of no one now, you want to beat me to erase the humiliation you lost to me, then..." Gu fan pulled up his mouth and showed a disdainful smile, "I advise you not to make mistakes!"

Gufan is not what it used to be. Although xingaochen has such unique skills as imperial Kendo and Longxi sword, Gufan can't wear a sword because he wants to enter the imperial palace. It's inevitable that he will be in a weak position. But it's also a dream for xingaochen to win Gufan without making a big move.

The star Ao dust sees to Gu fan's vision slightly quiver for a while, seem to be because too surprised. But he soon recovered his calm, and continued in a calm tone: "Gufan, I'm not here to harm you this time, but to save you. You'd better not take part in the competition of Tu Su Festival again. "“ Why? " Gu fan asked“ Because someone's going to deal with you. And this person is definitely something you can't fight against. " Star proud dust's eyes ignored a trace of displeasure in Gu fan's eyes, and continued: "those who know current affairs are heroes, you still don't want to participate."“ Are they from the dantai family? " Gu fan asked“ I can't say more about that. " Xing aochen turned around and finally said, "Gufan, I believe you are a smart man. You won't make fun of your own life."“ Thank you very much Gu fan nodded, returned a sentence, also turned around and walked to the Tongming hall alone. Sure enough, his intuition is right. The Tu Su banquet is not so delicious! Xuantian hall is thousands of feet high. In front of the hall are white marble steps, which are divided into hundreds of steps. On the steps, nine red lacquer doors were opened at the same time, and countless maids and eunuchs were carrying all kinds of fruits and wine cups. Gu fan just stepped into the Xuantian hall, facing a huge brass carbon basin with three adults. The exquisite dragon and Phoenix carvings on the basin indicate that these copper basins are also valuable Royal products. The fire in the brass charcoal basin was burning, and the heat waves were spreading in all directions. Gu fan glanced and found that there were at least more than 30 large charcoal pots in the main hall, which made the whole Xuantian hall warm“ Young master, who are you from? " There was a soft voice in his ear. A girl in plain Palace Dress stood in front of Gu fan, lowered her head and asked softly“ Plain Hou Fu, ancient fan Gu fan nodded slightly and replied“ It's the marquis. Please follow me With a look of worship on her face, the maiden in Imperial costume led Gu fan into the Xuantian hall and sat down at a wine table near a stone pillar“ Wait a moment, young marquis. The preserved fruit will be delivered soon. " Gu fan nodded slightly“ Little marquis. "“ Here you are, young marquis. " Gu fan had just sat down when the taxis on the left and right stood up, smiling and flattering“ You're welcome. Sit down. " Gu fan is indifferent. After knowing about the western suburbs, the reputation of both brothers spread. For example, it's one thing that the princes and children in the capital dare not provoke them. In fact, they see the future of the ancient family and want to curry favor with them. Only with Gu fan's approval did these scholars dare to sit down again“ Little Marquis, your preserved fruit. " After a while, a maid in the palace came up with a silver plate. The maid put down the silver plate and took off the silver cover. In the silver plate, there was a large piece of preserved fruit, next to a pot of wine and some preserves, a dish of almonds and refined cakes. The banquet will not start until a while. Gu fan is not very hungry at this time. He starts to pay attention to other people in the Xuantian hall with almonds. The descendants of the Marquis are only a handful here. Most of them came from local officials, court ministers and generals. Obviously, the master that the star Ao dust says wants to deal with oneself must also be among these people, and also be looking at him secretly. At this time, if he looks around in panic, he will appear guilty and become a chip of confidence in the eyes of the other party. But if he is calm and calm at this time, he will make the other party suspicious and dare not act rashly. With the comparison in his heart, Gu fan became more relaxed and even put one leg on the side table“ Brother Gu, why are you drinking alone here? " A familiar voice came. Gu fan turned his head and saw a gentle young man coming with a wine bottle. It was Murong que, the only branch of the Murong family practicing martial arts“ My son, long time no see. " Gu fan's eyes flashed a different color: "it's a pity that I didn't meet the western suburb patrol last time."“ Our family is not very interested in this kind of hunting. My cousin went for me last time. " After all, the Qingshu marquis is still a literary minister, too strong to compare with other military Marquis families. Murong que smiles and stands beside Gu fan“ Shizi, sit down! Sit down Gu fan's taxi got up and walked away without waiting for Murong que to answer. Murong que is not polite either. He lifts his robes and sits down beside Gu fan.
