After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

The two men were relieved when they saw that the shopkeeper had done his job properly!

The dark eyes swept across the hall, and everyone lowered their heads and looked away. Only then did the two of them leave with satisfaction.

As expected of the Black Dragon Guard, the deterrent power is still there.

If Miss Zhong hadn't asked them to come, they really wouldn't come to a place like this on weekdays. As the Black Dragon Guards, they should remain more mysterious!

In the Moon Tower.

After the Black Dragon Guard left, all those who were waiting to place their bets were suddenly shocked.

They were all wondering who this Fengcheng Fang Ping was?

I've never even heard of this name. How can he be listed after the Four Young Masters of Shengjing?

Everyone was confused and puzzled, but no one knew the reason.

Those two people just now were the Black Dragon Guards!

The Black Dragon Guard who is most trusted by the emperor in the world and can make all the ministers tremble with fear with just one move!

They personally came forward to praise an unknown person in this way.

This really doesn't make sense!

But not being able to explain is one thing, and following the trend is another.

"Boss, I'm placing a ten-bet bet on this Fengcheng Fang Ping!"

"I'm betting on Master Gu, ten bets!"

"I'm betting on Master Chen, ten bets!"

....

Because Fang Ping was so unknown, the odds were as high as ten to one!

Originally, the waiter wanted to offer a twenty to one payout, but the shopkeeper thought that since it was recommended by the Black Dragon Guards, the offer could not be too high.

Ten to one is already high enough.

Inside the Tianzihao private room.

The four of them were originally having a drink and discussing the upcoming Chongyang Palace Banquet, but the sudden arrival of the Black Dragon Guard disrupted their plans.

They had originally planned to work together as a four-man team to deal with the provocations from Beidi and Nanzhao, but suddenly, an unknown person named Fang Ping appeared out of nowhere.

The most annoying thing is that they had never even heard of this name before.

Fengcheng, Fangping?

From Fengcheng County?

Chen Yan sneered, "How dare a nameless person from the countryside dream of competing with us on the same stage? How ridiculous!"

Gu Mingzhe frowned slightly; his good upbringing prevented him from saying bad words.

But he felt very disgusted that the Black Dragon Guard would compare an unknown person with him.

Fu Lin did not respond, but fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally asked the question: "Who was the young lady that the Black Dragon Guard was talking about just now?"

The other three people couldn't help but pause when they heard this.

Yes, I have always heard that the Black Dragon Guards are only loyal to the current emperor, and I have never heard of any young ladies or the like!

"Do you think it's possible that it was that one?" Fu Lin said calmly, with a hint of certainty in his voice.

Although I don't know why.

But his intuition told him that it couldn't be anyone else except that person!

"I heard that the one was escorted back personally by the Black Dragon Guard leader Si Qiyu." Gu Mingzhe's slender white fingers stroked the jade wine glass on the table.

Then, he tilted his head back slightly and drank the wine in the glass.

A slight blush suddenly appeared on her face, and her eyes sparkled.

"If that's the case, it seems this Fang Ping has a great connection with that person!" Zhang Mingxuan half-clenched his fist and tapped the edge of the table lightly, making a slight knocking sound.

"You don't even know what your future holds, yet you still want to get involved in the palace banquet," Chen Yan said in a sarcastic tone with disdain on his face.

"Our Majesty is becoming increasingly confused. He even displays an illegitimate daughter in public, and he's not even ashamed of it!"

"How dare you!" Gu Mingzhe shouted softly, "Haoqing, shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to die?"

Haoqing is exactly Chen Yan’s name!

Chen Yan touched his nose and said nothing.

But he had heard that Ying'er and his sister had come to the palace many times to ask for an audience, but she refused to meet them. An illegitimate daughter really had such an audacity!

"Mingzhe is talking about a branch of the Black Dragon Guard called the Xuan Guard, which hides in the shadows. They never appear in public, but specialize in secretly gathering information from various prefectures. Even if you are dissatisfied, you shouldn't make it known."

Fu Lin warned earnestly.

Chen Yan nodded slightly, stood up and bowed, then said: "I was talking nonsense, please don't blame me, brothers!"

After saying that, he poured himself a glass of wine as an apology!

Seeing this, everyone showed sympathy on their faces.

There's no need to be like this between brothers. Just be more careful in everything!

As for which one?

The emperor hid her so carefully, but the Chongyang Palace Banquet is approaching, and he will eventually bring her into the banquet. By then, it will be clear whether she is a human or a ghost!

"Now, our most important thing is to deal with Beidi." Gu Mingzhe said solemnly, and everyone agreed.

"Here are some poems written by the Seventh Prince of Beidi. Let's study them together to see how good his skills are and then make a judgment!" Fu Lin took out a booklet from his arms and said to everyone.

The other three people moved their chairs and listened attentively.

Fu Lin recited one neat and gorgeous poem after another, and the cautious look in the eyes of several people became more and more serious.

.......

Ran Ran Qiuguang can't keep it, the full-order red leaves are twilight.

It’s the Double Ninth Festival again.

It is the time to entertain guests.

The palace had already made many preparations for this palace banquet.

It just so happened that this palace banquet coincided with the time of audiences from various countries, so fortunately they were held in the same place.

Of course, although it was an audience with the emperor from various countries, everyone knew that this kind of audience was a respect that was bought with money.

If Dayong were not so prosperous and wealthy, it would be difficult to maintain such dignity!

Everyone knew it, but no one would say anything that would spoil the fun.

After all, the court has to save face!

Whether it was the literati or the emperor, they all had to pay for the so-called peace.

This is the default rule of survival!

In the Zichen Palace.

All the ministers and envoys who came to attend the palace banquet took their seats one after another.

Li Yuanche, the prince of the Western Rong, led the Western Rong delegation and sat in the first seat three rows on the right.

Seeing this, Yelu Zhen, the seventh prince of Beidi, stopped the deputy envoy who wanted to step forward and grab a seat.

These seats have always been divided according to the size of a country's strength. The Western Rong are nothing compared to the Northern Di. They actually dared to sit in front of them. How outrageous!

But Yelu Zhen didn't intend to make a fuss about it.

Because he had just received the news, but he didn't know whether Li Yuanche had received it?

Thinking of this, Yelu Zhen smiled faintly, and then sat down calmly.

Sitting at the last seat were the Nanzhao envoys.

The leader of the Nanzhao delegation this time was actually the most beloved little princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, Meng Huanyan!

She has a beautiful appearance, is cunning and smart, and is truly a peerless beauty.

I heard that she has another identity, and is the only next generation saint recognized by the Shen Gu land in southern Xinjiang!

Why was Nanzhao a weak country, yet few countries were willing to attack it?

It is because they possess unique self-defense and anti-poisoning skills that other countries do not have!

Who would believe that the Holy Maiden of the Nanzhao Divine Gu Land came here in person without any ulterior motive?
