Heroes of the Fantasy World

It is by no means an easy task to fully comply with the dress and etiquette norms required when entering the palace for an audience.

What is the most popular style this year?What color fabric is the most taboo?They pay attention to ostentation, respect and inferiority, how to make themselves look decent without offending anyone... The so-called Vanity Fair is a war without gunpowder.

In the communication between ordinary people, whether it is expressing kindness or disgust, all emotions can be expressed naturally, and no one will think there is anything wrong with it.But among the noble class, they will definitely not use hobbies and similar ambitions as the reason to get together. More often than not, they put self-interest first, and often suppress their own nature for this reason.

As long as you approach these powerful people, you have to be influenced.

Bai Feng and Yu Ke put on grand wide-sleeved dresses, came from the Gao family's mansion, stepped on the gorgeous and neat floor tiles, passed by unknown palaces, found Gao Xijun and Gao Ang to report their safety, and then followed them to the banquet.

The gardens in King Qi's Palace are not like ordinary gardens. They use flat buildings, ponds, bricks and wood to divide the area and form a spectacle.The place is undulating, and at a glance, there are hills covered with fine grass all around, and there is an area covered by jungle, with a man-made stream flowing through it.

Bai Feng felt as if he had returned to Beizhen.

After walking through this magnificent journey, they finally came to the place where the banquet started—it was a well-decorated military camp, with a total of three large tents.

"Didn't expect it! The emperor's banquet is not in the palace, nor in the main hall, but it is chosen in this hunting ground?" Gao Ang carefully controlled the wheelbarrow Gao Xijun was riding on, and said: "The emperor has never forgotten I was born in Beizhen, so I left such a place in the palace to raise deer and sheep. I wonder what kind of prey the emperor wants to hunt this time?"

Gao Xijun immediately echoed and said: "Young Xia Bai, let's leave for now, Xijun is waiting for your good news outside."

"Madam Xijun?" As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, a servant took Gao Xijun to rest elsewhere.

"My sister is inconvenient and has never shown her face in front of everyone." Gao Ang explained, and the two separated before the camp.

Bai Feng and Yu Ke were invited by the servants to sit in the camp on the right. Most of the people invited here were the confidantes and confidantes of high-ranking officials and nobles in the court. The reason for this certainty was that Bai Feng quickly In it, several people were identified who had appeared at yesterday's banquet, and a woman who came to strike up a conversation not long after, made Bai Feng's heart more determined.

"I didn't expect that the Gao family treated you so well?" The woman approached with a glass of wine, and sat in front of Bai Feng gracefully, and continued: "Bai Shaoxia will become a high-ranking man in the future, don't forget that our Mr. Mei once treated you so well." Help out."

"Mei Xinghe?" Bai Feng offered her a glass of wine and said mercilessly: "I don't want to get involved with you."

"I don't know if Shaoxia Bai remembers 'Mei Lingshuang'?" Mei Xinghe pushed his drink to Baifeng's side, and said: "As far as I know, she is not a character who will casually start helping people. In Jiangzhou If it wasn't for her, would Bai Shaoxia still be here today? Could it be that you and Mei Lingshuang secretly..."

Bai Feng refused without waiting for her own conclusion: "Girl, please respect yourself, you still want to be a lobbyist by fabricating facts like this out of thin air?"

"Don't worry, I won't tell Murong Yan!"

Yu Ke suddenly snatched Mei Xinghe's glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, saying: "The wine is over, you should go!"

"Where did you come from, little girl, didn't you see you just now?" Mei Xinghe glared at Yu Ke, unexpectedly the other party was not stage-frightened: "If you want to trouble us, pass me, Yu Ke first!"

This movement shocked everyone around immediately, Mei Xinghe had no intention of showing hostility to Bai Feng, so she kept trying to win him over, but according to the current situation, she had no choice but to give up this idea.

"Little thing!" After shouting angrily, Mei Xinghe returned to her seat, and the bees, waves and butterflies who came to toast quickly surrounded her, all wanting to make the beauty smile.

After a while, a servant came to summon Bai Feng and said, "General Gao Ang is here!" Bai Feng greeted Yu Ke, and then went.

As soon as he entered the camp, there were voices of discussion from both sides.

"Is this the orphan of 'Gao Zhu', the founder of the Gao Family Army?"

"I heard that this young general has made great military exploits in Beizhen, but for some reason he failed to get an official position. Such a talented man should do his best for the court!"

"It really is young and promising..."

Bai Feng followed behind Gao Ang to meet with him.

"Mei Lin, Sima Tu, Murong An..." Familiar faces flashed in front of his eyes, and the one sitting in the deepest part of the big tent hung down the curtain: "Emperor Daqi, Gao Huan."

"You are Baifeng?" A voice came from behind the curtain: "We met at the parade ceremony that day."

According to the etiquette learned earlier, Bai Feng respectfully said: "Grassman Bai Feng, see the emperor."

"Your Majesty, this young man is Gao Zhu's descendant, and the imperial court should treat him with courtesy." Hussar General Gao Ang said, "What's more, Bai Feng made great contributions in mobilizing the rebel army in Beizhen and hunting down the rebels. ! Minister, I implore the emperor to grant him a title and official position, otherwise it will be hard to convince everyone!"

"A descendant of the Gao family?" Bai Feng was a little surprised, but seeing Gao Ang's unhesitating appearance, he couldn't say anything for a while.

After the high-pitched words, the ministers praised him again and again.

"It makes sense." Gao Huan said methodically, "Let Gao Zhu's title be inherited to him, and Bai Feng will stay in Gao's army from now on, how about it?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Ang solemnly thanked him, but Bai Feng beside him was still a little dazed.

Gao Huan then joked again, saying: "General Baifeng, I have a friend who wants to catch up with you, I wonder if you can agree?"

"What friend?" Bai Feng didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, after the curtain was lifted, the [-]-foot man stood there, looked at him with a smile, and said, "General Bai Feng, you are safe and sound. I don't know if you still remember it." I?"

"Zhao Kuo!"

The emotions of the past flooded into my heart in an instant. After the snowy day, Bai Feng seldom remembered what happened in Beizhen, because the stories there were too beautiful and cruel at the same time.He also expected to meet Zhao Kuo again today, but he never expected that it would be under such circumstances...

Zhao Kuo stepped forward and bowed his hands in respect: "It's like three autumns to leave that day! General Baifeng clearly made great contributions but didn't take any of it, and left without hesitation. How can I forget such a righteous man."

"Zhao Kuo..." Bai Feng couldn't forget what he had done to him. His bewitchment and betrayal were vivid in his mind.Bai Feng clenched his fists and tried his best not to draw his sword, but he also didn't intend to salute the other party.

Gao Ang watched anxiously, and kept secretly reminding Bai Feng: "Bai Feng, don't be stupid! Hurry up and return the gift."

The tent was suddenly deserted, and Bai Feng did not respond until the curtain was opened for the second time.

"Why are you all silent?" An old man came out from behind the curtain. He was dressed in a Hu suit, and his heroic appearance remained the same as before: "Yu Yihou, accompany me to shoot arrows, and let me see the people of Beizhen." Is his archery still as amazing as it is?"

"Minister, obey the order." After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, all the officials stood up to welcome Gao Huan out of the camp, and only Zhao Kuo could follow behind the emperor.
