Chapter 47: Golden Light!
Chang Yufeng didn't know what Chun Xi meant yesterday when he said whether he should agree or not until the prime minister asked.
The entire Bailing Mountain started to get busy at three o'clock in the morning. Hundreds of personnel from all ten departments and six departments were mobilized to prepare for tomorrow's, ah no, today's reception banquet. Some people were flying in the sky, holding red streamers in their hands.
and hanging cloths were hung one after another in the mountains. The huge red banners said "Welcome the young master, welcome the prime minister". The feeling of universal celebration pervaded the entire Bailing Mountain. Everyone was beaming with joy, which was comparable to the grand ceremony of some festivals.
The scene. But apart from these colorful flags, the most important thing is the arrangement of tables and chairs. The tables and chairs backed by blue magic energy are flying neatly on the mountain. The chefs in the back kitchen are all sweating, cooking, steaming and frying.
Nothing is missing. Magic is useless for things like this that can affect the taste. In addition, there are delicacies from all over the country. There are too many places that require chefs to operate. The entire Bailing Mountain is filled with a strong fragrance early in the morning.
, delicacies from all over the world are cooked by the chef, and today many dishes that are not usually eaten are on standby. The chef who is usually responsible for feeding hundreds of people is even busier today.
In addition to the delicious smell that permeates Bailing Mountain, there are also many special pastries floating in the air, like ribbons spinning around Bailing Mountain. Those senior brothers and sisters who are rarely seen on weekdays are all wearing clothes that are rarely seen on weekdays.
From the formal attire they wore, one can imagine how important this reception banquet is.
Chang Yufeng was woken up early, put on a set of clothes that looked very gorgeous, and was taken to a small house, where the chief steward and the prime minister were waiting.
Chang Yufeng bowed his hands and the Prime Minister hurriedly helped him up and pulled him to sit next to him. The chief steward looked at him with a serious look on his face.
"The young master of the Ning family is so polite, he is really a teachable child!" The prime minister shook his fan happily and looked at him with a happy face, his eyes narrowed to a slit.
But Chang Yufeng sat there, not daring to make a sound.
"The Prime Minister came to you today because of important matters. Young Master, you must listen carefully. Don't miss a word." The chief steward reminded from the side.
"Yes." Chang Yufeng looked at him and responded seriously. Looking at the prime minister again, his smile was gone and only seriousness remained.
The chief steward looked at the respectful young man and recalled yesterday's conversation, every word of which made his heart tremble.
"Ten years ago, Huacheng was breached by a mysterious man. The Demon Sealed Well that the Ning family had guarded for generations was destroyed. The Great Demon King escaped from the seal on the first day. The head of the Ning family, Ning Ji Ning Qing, lost his whereabouts. Also in
Ten years ago, varying degrees of ferocious beast riots occurred in the Xiyi Nether Sea. The whereabouts of the guardians were unknown, and Generals Fu An and Jiang Boliang also fell at the same time."
The chief manager looked at him doubtfully. He had an image of the first one, but he had never heard of the second one.
"For ten years, we have been looking for traces of the devil, but there is no trace. On the first day, the big devil seemed as if he had never been rescued. We blocked Fu'an and found nothing. Until a few days ago, the Beast Kingdom
The Kingdom of White Horse was invaded by demons, and we learned the secret that the demons had planned for a long time."
As he listened, his brows knitted together, as if a shocking secret was about to surface.
"Someone is manipulating the devil behind the scenes." The prime minister frowned tightly: "Thousands of years ago, the devil came to the world, devastated all living things, and withered all things. The seven demons brought trouble to the world. The twelve main gods representing the twelve races united to spend their energy.
They were finally defeated and suppressed in the Demon Sealing Well, but the good times did not last long. Quetzalcoatl was bewitched and joined forces with the other four main gods to openly rebel against the coalition and released the demons back to the spiritual world. The other main gods paid a heavy price and fought with the demons.
Thousands of creatures in the spiritual world defeated him and sealed the demon again. However, the demon's infection could no longer be contained. This time, the demon was released again. But this time, it is different from the past." Prime Minister
Looking at him: "There are only four major races left among the twelve races. The other races are scattered and may not be as united as they were thousands of years ago. There is a black hand behind the demons that controls them. Everything in the Kingdom of Beasts is just an illusion.
, there are some infected miscellaneous soldiers, and the real demons are still hiding in any possible corner of the spiritual world. The Great Demon King on the first day, for ten years, has made great efforts for other demons in the well.
Not a single one has been touched, and he has been hiding for ten years, so he must have some agenda."
The prime minister suddenly told him this, and the general manager felt very stressed. He had already heard about the demons in the past three years. The seven demons were sealed in seven demon-sealing wells, and the Ether Empire and the Principality of Arlan each
There are two magic wells.
"The news in Huacheng was tightly blocked, and the security of the Netherworld Sea reached its highest level in ten years. However, on the first day, there was no movement from the Great Demon King and the man behind the scenes, as if this incident had never happened. I have been
When thinking about what their next plan will be, I feel that they still have one key figure missing."
The chief steward swallowed a mouthful of saliva and listened with fear.
"That is, the young master of the Ning family, Chang Yufeng!" The prime minister looked at him seriously.
"He's going to be the key to all of this."
"this……"
"Don't be afraid. Ten years ago, when I heard that the Demon Sealing Well in Huacheng was breached, I noticed something strange. I looked through ancient books and looked for any method that could seal the demon again. I felt at that time that the demon
When he comes back to the world, he will definitely destroy all life again and become a catastrophe." The prime minister looked at him: "But no, everything has returned to peace. It was not until today that I heard the news of the return of the young master of the Ning family.
Eyebrows clear."
The chief steward stared at the Prime Minister with straight eyes. Hearing the Prime Minister's strange conjecture, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"Ten years ago, the baby rescued by Huacheng. Ten years later, the young master of the Ning family will definitely become the key to this game. I must come and see what magic this young man has."
The chief manager looked at the young man in front of him today, and an unprecedented feeling came out of his heart. He used to hold him in his arms, but he was not as well-behaved as he is today. His current behavior is indeed a bit strange.
That was not the expression that a person who had been fostered outside for so long and returned to his own home should have, even if he had been sleeping for a hundred years.
"Today is your reception banquet. I will ask you a few questions. Just in case, let's rehearse it in advance."
The Prime Minister is indeed very cunning. In order not to have an accident at today's banquet, he actually wanted to rehearse today's answer. What a bad old man, he is very bad. If he doesn't give a good answer now, it may be difficult to change it later.
Chang Yufeng responded obediently, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Young Master, what would you do if you were to marry Her Highness the Princess?" The Prime Minister's straight-to-the-point question was what Chang Yufeng had anticipated yesterday.
"Excuse me, Prime Minister, what is marriage?" he asked loudly, with a well-behaved look.
The prime minister looked at him and touched his mustache and said with a smile: "The matter of marriage is nothing more than the parents' order and the matchmaker's words."
Chang Yufeng looked at the chief steward, who looked at him from the side: "I have never met the princess. Even if my parents ordered me to be a matchmaker, I can't agree." He looked at the prime minister and continued calmly.
: "And a man should put his career first. I'm only ten years old, so it's too early to talk about marriage."
"Sooner or not, this time the young master can come back and continue to fulfill the engagement. Now I am here on behalf of the emperor. I am just settling the matter and not rushing." The prime minister seemed to insist on this matter. To be honest, if there is such an engagement, it would make sense.
It's absolutely impossible to explain clearly.
"To be honest, I have already been engaged. In the Principality of Arlan, my adoptive father and mother have already betrothed a woman to me. I also like that woman very much. Therefore, it is really difficult to arrange an engagement with the princess.
, and I hope the Prime Minister will make a decision for me." Chang Yufeng looked embarrassed, and Dada also scratched his ears, as if he was not listening to them.
The atmosphere suddenly became so awkward that even the air froze.
The Prime Minister seemed to expect that he would say such a thing.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you want to marry, just marry them together, hahaha, men, three wives..." Before the prime minister could finish speaking, he was punched by the chief steward. After coughing twice, he said again: "That's it.
It's very difficult to handle. If you ask me to make a decision, it's really difficult for me to handle!" The prime minister also looked embarrassed. The chief manager looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head. If this old thing dares to teach the little master bad things, I will beat him.
You can't get down the mountain.
"My adoptive father and mother treat me like family. It's my parents' order to be a matchmaker. It's hard for me to refuse. Regarding this princess, it's still..." Chang Yufeng wanted to say more while he was still thinking: "How about keeping it secret?
Just pretend it doesn't happen. By the time I reach my age, the princess will already be married to a wife and even a mother."
"No, in fact, the entire royal family already knows about this matter, so I am here to ask what you mean. In fact, it is my fault that you are so different in age. How should I get rid of this matter now?"
Chang Yufeng saw that the Prime Minister had no further intention: "Actually, the princess came to me yesterday for this matter."
"I know." The prime minister was still deep in thought, but he just responded casually.
"Huh?" Chang Yufeng didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Dada. In his eyes, Chang Yufeng saw his own face.
This matter may not go away, but even if the emperor of the Ether Empire comes to ask, he will do the same.
"Okay, young master, there is no need to dwell on this matter. I have already thought of a clever plan. Today is your reception banquet, so please don't worry about it."
"It's okay, it's okay, the Prime Minister is concerned, it's not too late for Yu Feng to be happy."
But he always felt that this matter was not over yet.
The prime minister fanned himself thoughtfully, which made him feel that it was not very reliable.
Fortunately, no questions were asked during the reception banquet that followed. Chang Yufeng toasted with tea instead of wine one by one. They were all unfamiliar faces. He did not see Chunxi, Zhaozhao, or even Ai Rui.
Ka and Lin'er were not seen by anyone.
He had to smile all day, but he felt bitter and embarrassed in his heart. Fortunately, he had the chief steward at his side to help him. Although everyone was very kind to him, he still felt uncomfortable. The princess did not attend, so neither did Nagaha Kaede.
see her.
The chief steward was sitting in front, and Chang Yufeng had no time to ask him. During the whole day, everything seemed to be a waste of time, and time passed extremely slowly.
There was a lot of noise and chaos, but Chang Yufeng was the only one who was very quiet. He laughed quietly, quietly drank tea instead of wine, and was the protagonist of this banquet. However, his heart was noisy and he was never quiet for a moment.
.
He slipped away secretly, as if escaping from the banquet. He disliked this place and his identity less and less. He had spent ten years in Wenti County, but he still had not integrated into the crowd.
The secluded pastoral life of Rajer and Emina made him feel too comfortable. He had also thought about wandering around the world to find his real parents, but now when he was about to find the answer, he suddenly felt that he was not
So expected.
He was walking in the mountains, his clothes were bright and shiny, but the blue pine and gray stones were more solid than the clothes.
Unknowingly, he came to the residence of Chun Xi and Zhao Zhao. Erica and Lin'er slept in the same room as them.
"Ha! You lose, you lose! Drink tea quickly, drink tea quickly!" The voice was very similar to Erica's. Chang Yufeng smiled and was about to enter, but as soon as he entered, he was stunned. That was not Erica.
It was some children, and there was no one he wanted to see. He left in a hurry to avoid being detained.
Where will they go?
Chang Yufeng heard some crying on a balcony, where there were everyone he wanted to see.
He watched from a distance, Chunxi lay on Zhaozhao's shoulder and sobbed, Zhaozhao patted her back gently and said something comfortingly, Erica hugged Chunxi, not wanting her to be sad. Lin'er looked at the distance.
Mountains, her purple hair was blown by the wind, but the green mountains were still there in her purple eyes.
Don't know what she is thinking.
Chang Yufeng stood there stupidly, as if there was a mountain between them that could not be climbed.
His noisy heart suddenly became quiet, and he could hear his own heartbeat, once, twice.
The sun has also set,
Will tomorrow be better?
