Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 264: Dinner banquet
The next day, the Lantern Festival arrived.
"Hey, many people!" Chichi yelled excitedly, lying on the windowsill.
As the little girl said, the surrounding streets were crowded with people, almost extending from the city gate to the city center. Although the lights are displayed at night, some small activities have begun to warm up, such as lion dances and stilt performances.
Sure enough, these two activities are universal plug-ins no matter where they are. Coupled with the accompaniment of suona, there is a festive atmosphere in an instant.
Vendors are seizing the opportunity to promote their own products, including sweets, snacks, lanterns and colored paper. For most people, this is the last opportunity to fill up their pockets before the New Year. Therefore, not only ordinary businessmen, but also many local residents have taken out their usual hoarding things and joined the sale.
"It feels a lot more lively here than Jinxia." Qianzhi finally said with emotion.
Puff, Xia Fan felt a knife in his heart.
"After all, this is the center of Daqi." Luo gently walked aside, looking at the cheerful crowd, "Before I met Xia Fan, I never thought that one day I would go to an unremarkable Yancheng."
The second knife went in too.
"I still... prefer Jinxia City." Fang Yanni said cautiously.
"Oh? Why?" Xia Fan asked happily.
"Because there are many people, I will be nervous." She lowered her head slightly, "The place is better to be remote and desolate. It would be better if it was like the old forest in the deep mountains of Lingzhou."
Xia Fan couldn't help holding his chest tightly.
"Okay, Jinxia is already very good." Qianyan interjected abruptly, "That place gives me a different feeling from most towns... Actually it looks a bit like it was when it was prosperous. Even if it is not as good as it is now. Shangyuan will definitely become a famous city in the future."
"Really?" Qianzhi was a little surprised. "Sir Qianyan rarely speaks nice things to others."
"You are ashamed to say others!" Fang Xiandao glared at his protector.
"Set aside the gossip, let's settle down the business tonight." Li greeted behind everyone, "How to arrange the itinerary for the Wandeng Banquet?"
Everyone closed the windows and sat back in the middle of the room.
"Xia Fan, do you have any ideas?" Luo asked gently.
"This dinner is held in the Palace Square, and the identity of the personnel must be verified. If I am not mistaken, I should be the only one who can enter at that time." Xia Fan said while considering, "The princess also said Now, the probability of danger of Wandeng Banquet is extremely low, so on the contrary, it is you. It is best not to go out that day and just stay in Wanjing Building."
"Thousand knows, immovable like a mountain!" the little girl echoed.
"Perhaps divination can be used to investigate the situation at night." Li proposed.
"Actually, I tried it last night." Fang Xiandao looked solemnly, "Because I can't directly calculate Xia Fan, I regard Shangyuan City as the target of the operation."
"What was the result?" Xia Fan asked curiously.
"It is so dark and unclear, it is difficult to make judgments." He narrowed his eyes and said in a long tone, "There are violent winds all around, and the clues of fate have been disrupted and reorganized, and they have lost their original meaning."
"Troubles to talk."
"That... Junior Brother Fang meant that someone in Shangyuan City was interfering with divination techniques, and more than one person was doing it." Fang Yanni explained in a low voice, "Such a situation will make the hexagram draw conclusions. If it is false, forced interpretation will not achieve the desired effect."
"Hey, can this technique be restrained?" Xia Fan twitched his lips. The other party's remarks reminded him of the electromagnetic warfare in the complex electromagnetic environment. "As long as the opponent keeps interfering, how can you divination? Isn't it useless?"
"How can it be as simple as you said!" Fang Xian said anxiously, "First of all, the other party must be quite knowledgeable in holographic divination before they can go against the magic. Secondly, doing this also requires a lot of gems, soul jade, etc. Rare things, continuous interference with the last month’s expenses are enough to ruin the family!"
"Okay, okay, I see." Xia Fan confessed falsely, "But since there are so many sources of interference, it seems that the prince's enthronement ceremony will definitely not go through safely."
"After all, this matter is too hasty, I'm afraid that many people will be ready to move." Luo whispered softly, "The order here has already existed in name only."
Broadcast, I’m using the book reading app recently, [MicMicReadingapp\] There are many sources of books, all books, and fast updates!
"Maybe we will all leave Gyeonggi when the other party is enthroned." Xia Fan finally concluded, "Since everyone thinks it’s okay, let’s proceed as planned. Wait until after the meeting with the Privy Council. , We will make the next step."
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, which is about six o'clock, Xin Wu came to the bottom of Wanjing Tower as scheduled.
"I wonder if Master Xia has a good rest during this day and a half?" He greeted Xia Fan enthusiastically as soon as he saw Xia Fan, "Master Gan has already reserved a seat for you at the Wandeng Banquet."
"Not bad. I'm also an alchemist anyway. The long journey is not a big deal." Xia Fan nodded, "Let's go."
At this moment, the long street is full of people, and horses and vehicles have been banned. Even the alchemist can only walk to the palace area at this moment.
Walking to the gate of the inner city, the imperial guards had already put down their horses at the main road. Above the towering palace wall, Xia Fan could see the guards with powerful crossbows patrolling back and forth.
"Please show me the letter." The guard stopped the two.
"Here." Xin Wu skillfully took out a stack of paper and handed it to the guard. "He is a distinguished guest invited by the Privy Council. It doesn't matter whether you check or not."
"You are right, but this is my duty." After checking, the guard handed a nameplate to Xia Fan, and then stepped aside, "Please come in."
"I'm the only one?" Xia Fan asked in surprise.
"I'm just a person who asked, I have already completed the task by sending you here." Xin Wu said frankly, "The next meeting is not an occasion where I can participate. You have to go alone. Master Xia, that is Only you are qualified to be on stage, I will wait for your return here."
Xia Fan glanced at the nameplate, which had already marked his seat number.
"It's cold~IndoMTL.com~You can find a restaurant to sit in and come back when the Wandeng Banquet is over." After he finished speaking, he walked into the deep palace gate.
Next is a strict inspection. Not only weapons, but even talisman, paper and medicine packs are included. Obviously, those who enter the palace can't bring in anything except clothes, shoes and socks. Without the surgical materials, the alchemist's combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly restricted, and it is no wonder that the princess thinks that the risk of attending the Wandeng Banquet is not high.
After crossing the courtyard wall, it was another scene.
On the huge square, rows of round tables crisscross, forming a square grid. Each table is surrounded by wind-proof candlesticks. When hundreds of candlesticks are put together, there is an illusion like a sea of lights. This is not only to entertain the guests, but also to show the strength of the Daqi court-being able to gather so many bronze candlesticks at the same time is a manifestation of financial resources and means.
Under the guidance of the guard, he quickly came to the reserved seat.
"Xia Fan, long time no see."
The greeting was actually an old acquaintance from Qingshan Town, Feinian.
Beside him, two men and two women were sitting in turn.
"Let me introduce it to you." He smiled and stood up, "This lord is the green sword of the Privy Council. "
Bai Zhan nodded without saying a word.
"Beside the Hundred Masters, the guardian "Projective" Yu Linglong. "
"Oh, you're Xia Fan, right? We first met...Well, you're more cute than you thought." Yu Linglong chuckled.
Finian's hand moved to the other side, "This lady is also guarded by the Privy Council, and "the embers of crossing the fire" did not Huang. "
"The concubine is polite." The other party lowered his head slightly.
"The last one is the Yuyi ambassador based in Gyeonggi--" Feinen paused, "Fuck" Lord. "
