108. Banquet

At the east city gate of the capital, there are crowds of people on both sides of Yihu Street. On the street near the middle, there are two rows of soldiers guarding the streets that cannot be seen at all.

I saw the soldiers, like wolves and tigers, with shiny armor and spears and tassels shattered like blooming blood-red flowers, flying in the wind.

The pedestrians whispered, and after learning that the second prince had returned to the court today, their eyes suddenly shone one by one. Their honorable appearance really enhanced their great cohesion.

"I heard that the second prince has captured a county this time? He is full of momentum and has a strong face for us!" A war dealer said excitedly.

"Yes! Now that Qiguo is united, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and are so tough on the outside, our lives are getting better and better." A man who had never left the capital spoke lies with his eyes open.

...

Emperor Ji Tianxing stood on the palace wall early, and all the princes and ministers stood behind him.

Below the palace gate, ordinary officials were lined up on both sides, and people from various major families were in the rear. In the entire capital, lights and colors were decorated, which was much more lively than the New Year Festival.

"Report~~"

Outside the East City Gate, a fast horse suddenly rushed over, and the cavalry was filled with dust and the sound came from afar.

Before walking unimpededly to the palace, he suddenly lifted the reins, and the horse stood upright and neighed at the sky. Then the horse's hooves, the size of a baby's head, fell heavily, making a dull loud noise!

The cavalry jumped down from the horse's back, knelt on one knee, placed his right arm across his chest, and shouted loudly: "Report to Your Majesty! The second prince personally led the army to return to the army, and is now fifty miles away from the capital! Our army won a great victory in this journey, wishing Qiguo peace for all generations! May Your Majesty live forever!!!"

"good!"

Ji Tianxing, who had been in the military for half his life, was filled with cheers and excitement within his sight. He heard this again, even though his eyes were no longer limited to the territory, he still couldn't help but feel excited.

A heat current swept across the chest, looking around, and the voice rumbling: "Thank you all the hard work, soldiers!"

"It is our honor to die for Your Majesty!"

Qi Lu sat in a wheelchair and, under Ji Wuli's arrangement, found a front seat. Looking at the cavalry's fierce look, he couldn't help but praise: "Just just look at this person, you can tell that this is indeed a tiger and wolf army."

This spirit and timidity can scare you.

The cavalry rolled over his horse and ran along Yihu Street to the outside of the city, responsible for conveying the latest news.

The distance of fifty miles was already a very close distance. After waiting for about half an hour, a loud roar came from outside the East City Gate, and half of the capital was alarmed.

Suddenly exclaimed and exclaimed from outside the city gate. After a while, a strange beast saw fog rising in four hooves, and it was like clouds flying in the air. In just a few blinks, it had arrived in front of the palace.

There was a man on it, nine feet tall, wearing a one-piece chain mail, a heart-protecting mirror that was neither gold nor jade, and there were waves of spiritual power on it, which was obviously not an extraordinary item.

He held a weapon similar to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, but it was a little longer than that. The blade body, which was as thick as a bowl, weighed not thousands of pounds.

Judging from the reactions of the people around him, this person is Ji Wuyi, the second prince of Qiguo.

He jumped up and stepped on the back of the strange beast. His figure hit the ground like a cannonball. With the rumbling sound, the floor cracked and cracked for more than ten feet before it could barely stop.

‘Dong!’

The end of the long sword hit the ground and directly smashed a deep pit. Qi Lu grinned.

His eyes turned to the palace wall, and a few helplessness appeared in Ji Tianxing's eyes.

Well, it needs to be repaired again.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the army was taken by someone who was interested and set up camp thirty miles outside the city. Ji Wuyi entered the city alone to meet the emperor.

"My son, Ji, had no intention, pay homage to his father!"

Ji Wuyi knelt on the ground, and when his knees came into contact with him, he smashed the stone slab again, which made Ji Tianxing, who was above the palace, unable to help but twitch his eyes.

"Thank you my son, and thank you all the soldiers. I will pass on my decree to reward the soldiers in the army. Today, the palace will hold a banquet to celebrate the addition of another county in the territory of the Qiguo Kingdom!"

"Thank you, your Majesty!"

It is impossible to reward now. After all, for a series of rewards and punishments, you need to wait until Ji is unintentionally connected with the Ministry of War before issuing an order.

In this way, it will not appear sloppy.

Some of the princes behind Ji Tianxing were thoughtful, some had faint smiles that matched their identities, and some had cold expressions, just like someone owed them money.

Ji Wuli smiled with a smile on his eyes. It is always a good thing that Qiguo can have more territory. As for what happened later, it is useless to think too much now.

Whether it is support or a very likely obstacle, since the father has not rejected it, the establishment of the Demon Suppression Division is not impossible.

The two main doors in the middle of the palace gate were wide open. Ji Wuyi straightened up and hung his weapons beside the strange beast. He patted the other party's big head. A eunuch came and took the strange beast down respectfully to serve him.

Ji Wuyi looked around, and his tall figure brought a sense of oppression to everyone around him. He walked forward and stepped into the palace gate.

Qi Lu turned his wheelchair and leisurely followed the ministers who entered the palace through the side door, feeling no joy or sorrow.

This time, after discussing with Ji Wuli, in order not to be passive everywhere, Qi Lu participated in the banquet as a counselor of the prince's mansion.

The banquet had been prepared in the palace. After Ji Wuyi asked the emperor for instructions, he went to the harem to pay homage to his mother, and then came to the banquet.

Qi Lu's wheelchair has been used. Although his body has recovered, isn't he still a hundred sticks left? What if the emperor saw that he was relieved and suddenly remembered that matter? Will he resist or not?

Therefore, for safety reasons, it is better to sit in a wheelchair for a while, as long as you don’t fight, it won’t get in the way.

And he was sitting behind the ninth prince, by chance, Fan Dejian was next to him.

This made him bored, and he found a little...happy.

"Oh! Is Fan's health recovery?"

Qi Lu lowered his voice and smiled: "I wonder what excuse I have prepared today to find someone's bad luck?"

"snort!"

Fan Dejian was really annoyed this guy. At this time the banquet had begun, and the emperor was present, and the ministers did not dare to be too reckless.

According to the previous agreement, another minister would throw away the bricks and jade, and after picking out the matter of Qi Lu, they would make the matter bigger by using this matter. However, when he was agitated, Fan Dejian was a little embarrassed.

"Don't be arrogant, you will feel better later."

Qi Lu said 'oh', changed to a comfortable sitting position, and smiled and said, "Well, I'm waiting for the move."
