212 Hongmen Banquet
The main palace of the royal palace.
Chen Chu retreated all the followers, including Sheila and Bolin, and sat alone on the throne in the open hall.
A black robe inlaid with a dark red "setu" case, a crown with a bead curtain hanging on her head, and Chen Chu, wearing a royal robe, showed the noble attitude of the Nine Five Supreme.
A huge amount of thought power radiated out, and all the secrets of the palace were clearly presented to Chen Chu.
As expected, this seemingly dilapidated kingdom is not that simple.
The underground of the palace was actually hollowed out and a small underground city was built. Thousands of seventh-level troops were stationed in the underground city. The powerful aura showed that these troops were all elites who had experienced many battles.
The large warehouse community stores countless food, weapons, equipment, daily necessities, etc. Even if the Kingdom of Portis is destroyed, this dungeon can last for more than ten years.
Chen Chu was not sure about what the old king and Princess Portis were planning to build such a solid underground fortress.
Chen Chu's only purpose of exploring the palace is money!
In Chen Chu's vision, such events with great intentions usually prepare some secret vaults to provide financial support.
The gold coins transferred from the old king's ridiculous accounts are likely to be hidden in the secret vault.
What drove Chen Chu crazy was that everything in the underground castle was just that he had no money!
"It seems that this old king is definitely a powerful monarch who knows how to convert money into strength in time."
Chen Chu sighed.
The idea of searching for treasures from the palace was stranded, and Chen Chu could only find another way out.
"The following people should be able to use them to help me get through this most uncomfortable stage."
Chen Chu thought and slapped the handrail of the throne.
The handrail of the throne cracked, and an octagonal crystal appeared in front of Chen Chu.
A magic power poured into the octagonal crystal at a strange frequency, and the octagonal crystal flashed with a flash of light.
At the same time, in a secret room in the castle underground in the royal palace, a group of assassins in black were waiting in front of a pillar, and the octagonal crystal that was exactly the same as that in the throne's handrail was enshrined on it.
When the octagonal crystal inside the throne handrail begins to flash, the octagonal crystal on the pillars in the secret room also begins to flash at the same frequency.
The man in black in the secret room saw the gaze anise crystal radiating and immediately recorded the scene.
Immediately afterwards, a message was conveyed to the person in charge of the underground castle at an extremely fast rate.
About half an hour later, a middle-aged man wearing an ordinary-looking body appeared in front of Chen Chu.
"His Majesty!"
The middle-aged man knelt on one knee and saluted Chen Chu.
"Is this my first summoning you?"
Chen Chu put his hands behind his back and said lightly, while an extremely majestic aura instantly pressed on the middle-aged man.
A fine bead of sweat suddenly oozed out of the middle-aged man's forehead, and he felt extremely frightened.
"Your Majesty is the king, and he is the master of his subordinates. He will definitely die for His Majesty!"
"very good."
Chen Chu smiled slightly and withdrew his momentum.
The middle-aged man suddenly felt a sense of relief, but his heart was filled with awe.
"From today, you will change your name to Chuying, are you going to have any problems?"
Chen Chu looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly and said.
"Abide by your Majesty's order."
The middle-aged man lowered his head deeply and did not dare to look directly into Chen Chu's eyes.
Chen Chu's figure standing with his hands reminded him of the old king at the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, his aura and confidence that he was erratic and arrogant, looking down on the world.
No, she is even better than the old king of that year.
"Perhaps, under the leadership of Her Majesty the Queen, we can really realize that dream..."
"You should have all the secret information about the royal city officials."
Chen Chu asked calmly.
"Yes." The middle-aged man replied, "It's all in control."
"I will sort out the things I have reached out for over the years and send them to me."
"Affect the order."
"Wait, just need the fattest one, just let it go."
......
The side palace of the royal palace.
An informal banquet hosted more than a dozen high-powered ministers of the Kingdom of Portis.
The dining table was filled with delicious food, but no one here cared about it, and everyone focused their attention at the door of the palace.
A moment later, the queen in a black robe came in slowly, holding a book in her hand.
The queen walked to the master's seat and sat down, picked up the wine glass, and smiled at the ministers present, "Everyone, drink together."
After saying that, the queen drank the crystal clear dark red wine in the cup.
The ministers looked at each other and saw the queen turning over the glass of wine that had been drunk, and quickly raised their glasses to drink the wine.
"You dare to ask your Majesty, is there any important thing to call us here to buy this time?" The minister sitting opposite the queen stood up and asked in confusion.
"Of course there is something important." The queen smiled, "But, everyone should enjoy the delicious food first. If you have something to do, wait for the meal to discuss it."
After saying that, the queen picked up the knife and fork and began to deal with the food in front of her.
After eating half of the meat steak, Chen Chu raised his head and saw that no one of the ministers present used their knives and forks, all staring at him blankly.
"Everyone, please have a meal." Chen Chu stretched out his right hand and spread it flat on the table.
Seeing that the queen had no intention of doing things, the ministers had to start dining according to the queen's wishes.
After drinking the wine and meat, the atmosphere on the dining table gradually became warmer, and the ministers rushed to express their respect and congratulations to the queen.
When Chen Chu saw this situation, he just smiled and said nothing.
After they had enough wine and meals, the maids came up, removed the leftovers, and replaced them with a clean table.
"Everyone, what do you think about this meal?" asked the ministers sitting with their arms around Chen Chu.
"It's so delicious that I deserve His Majesty's noble status."
"Her Majesty the Queen is here to invite her to the banquet, and she is not very honored."
"Since it is Her Majesty's banquet, even the wild vegetables on the roadside are delicious, let alone such delicacies?"
“…”
Compliments flowed from the mouths of ministers continuously, but Chen Chu's color gradually became colder.
"Do you all know how much the meal cost?" Chen Chu asked, and then said to the minister sitting down, "Marquis Krei, tell me?"
"Yes." Marquis Krei replied respectfully, "As far as you know, in His Majesty's banquet, there were a total of thirty-six precious meat foods, including the Fengxing deer in the Kruta Forest, the water roe in the sea otter basin, and the griffin in the Siruer Plateau... all in total, I'm afraid that it will cost less than 15,000 gold coins?"
After saying that, Marquis Krei looked at the other ministers with some smugness.
"Well, very well, Marquis Krey does have some understanding of food." Chen Chu smiled, and then said to a minister who was eager to try, "Duke Elal, do you have any other supplements?"
"Of course, Earl Krei also ignored one thing, that is, the soup of the black water clam meat in the middle should be added with the elves spring water, right?"
