Chapter 245 Promoted to Temple Deacon
In the evening, a banquet was held in Zetian Palace to celebrate Su Qin, Lin Muyu and others, while the head of the criminal Hu Tiening was hung high in a bamboo cage above the square, slowly swaying and swaying in the wind.
Xiang Yu pressed the hilt of the sword in his hand, stood silently on the corridor, looking up at the head of the people in the square, and the murderous intent in his eyes swept past.
On the side, the Shenhou Zeng Yifan said lightly: "Mr. Hu Tiening has been honest all his life, but he did not expect such a late etiquette to be unsecured... He was confused and confused, but even so, he was a meritorious minister. He even did not even interrogate him and killed him... Alas, it is really sad and lamentable. Lord Xiang Yu, please beg for the change!"
A smile appeared on Xiang Yu's face and said, "What the Lord Shen said is very... Although Hu Tiening is my uncle, as an important minister of the empire, he actually knew that the law was broken. This is his own fault and he can't blame anyone. But I, the nephew, should take it as a warning."
Zeng Yifan smiled slightly: "It would be great that Lord Xiang Yu can think so. If the emperors can be as clear as Lord Xiang Yu, the world will be peaceful!"
As he said that, Zeng Yifan's eyes turned cold and he said, "However, I also heard that... Lord Xiang Yu's mother was also in Wugu City. When she broke through that night, she was hit by the rift arrows in the chaos army. Unfortunately, she passed away. I wonder if this is true?"
The muscles on the corner of Xiang Yu's mouth twitched and said, "Yes!"
"ah?"
Zeng Yifan panicked: "It's really like this... Oh my God, that's really too... I'm so angry. The old lady is dedicated to the empire all her life. How could Su Qin do this... Lord Xiang Yu also asks to be mournful and follow the changes..."
Xiang Yu's palm moved slightly at the hilt of the sword and said lightly: "I will see my mother off tomorrow. Thank you for your concern. Xiang Yu is fine, I know... this is all my uncle's fault and has nothing to do with General Su Qin."
"If this is the case, Lord Xiang Yu and General Su Qin are both pillars of the empire and seeds of famous generals in the future. If you two have any conflicts, that would be bad."
"Ha, don't worry, Lord, I will serve the empire with General Su Qin, without any gaps."
"Well, let's go to General Su Qin's celebration banquet together."
"Yes, please come here!"
"Please, Lord Xiang Yu!"
...
There were nearly 300 guests tonight, and there were many ministers. Emperor Qin Jin sat on the throne of Zetian Hall. Aside, the tables of Qin Yan and Feng Jixing were also placed there. It was not to say how high their status was, but to protect the safety of the emperor. As for Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi's tables were arranged on Lin Muyu's left hand to facilitate his protection.
A little further away is the tables of Chu Huaijian, Zhang Wei, Wei Qiu and others. People in the Imperial Guard who have cultivated to enter the Heavenly Realm have arranged seats, and they have already carried weapons. As for the civil servants and generals who came from outside, they all need to remove weapons before entering Zetian Palace. Even Su Qin, Xiang Yu, Zeng Yifan and others cannot be exempted. This is the rule, and no one can be an exception.
Not long after, the celebration banquet began. A group of palace maids danced in the center of the hall. The musician played the tune. Qin Jin raised his cup and smiled, saying: "Hu Tiening, traveling to Cangnan Province, had a dissatisfaction with his own coins. Now the incident happened. Mr. Yun, His Highness Qin Yin, General Su Qin, General Lin Muyu and others have made contributions to suppress the rebellion. All my dear friends raised their cups to celebrate them!"
Everyone raised their cups and drank them all in one go.
Lin Muyu slowed down a little, and his eyes fell on Xiang Yu. Although Xiang Yu smiled, when he looked at Su Qin, the fleeting murderous intent did not escape Lin Muyu's eyes.
The delicious dishes of a gui were served by the waiter. There were six dishes on the table in front of Lin Muyu. It was so rich. While observing the every move of the people at the banquet, he feasted. It had not eaten such a sumptuous meal for a long time. Even the wine was a tribute from Zetian Palace, which was very delicious and mellow.
Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin had a great time talking to each other and had forgotten Lin Muyu. Well, he could concentrate on eating.
Feng Jixing, Chu Huaiyan and others did not drink alcohol. They looked at everything around them intentionally or unintentionally. However, Zhang Wei was a rough man. He drank half a pot of wine, burped, and then continued to drink.
Not far away, Qu Chu and Lei Hong's seats were arranged together, just adjacent to Su Muyun's seats. The three old ministers of the empire were having a good chat. They even turned their eyes to Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi from time to time, as if they were discussing about them, but the banquet was too noisy, and even Lin Muyu could not hear what they were saying clearly even if he released the spiritual vein technique.
Not long after, Lei Hong came to Lin Muyu with a wine glass, reached out to pull down a rabbit leg meat from the golden gui, bit it and smiled: "It's still the food in Zetian Palace that is delicious!"
Lin Muyu said speechlessly: "This is mine... You have it on your own table, too..."
"Others's are more delicious." Lei Hong took another bite and said, "A Yu, come and have a drink with grandpa."
"good."
Lin Muyu raised her glass and said with a smile: "I wish Grandpa Lei Hong a long life and immortality!"
"well……"
Lei Hong drank it all happily, but looked up at him and said, "Now that winter and spring are in social interactions, there is no task for the Eagle Nest Camp. Ayu, should you go back to the temple? The newcomers in the temple are very much looking forward to seeing you, Lin Muyu, one of the four masters of Lan Yan!"
"That's how..."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll let Wei Qiu take charge of all the matters of the Eagle Nest Camp. Next, I'll go back to the temple to live for half a month. The deacon thinks this is good?"
"good!"
Lei Hong patted his shoulder and said, "Grandpa will go back to the temple after the banquet today to summon everyone to wait for your return."
"Um!"
...
The banquet lasted for more than two hours, and many people were already drunk. Qin Jin left the banquet early because of his lack of health. Qin Yin presided over the overall situation. It was time for this crown prince to have more contact with his ministers. Otherwise, after taking over in the future, who would surrender to such a beautiful little girl?
At the end of the banquet, Lin Muyu left Wei Qiu, Xiahou Sang and others to spend the night in Zetian Palace tonight, responsible for the safety of His Majesty and the princess, and he escorted Tang Xiaoxi back to the Duke's Mansion.
On the corridor outside Zetian Hall, a group of people walked side by side with horses. Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, Su Qin and Su Yu were all among them, while Yun Gong was sitting in the carriage, old and weak, unable to withstand the tossing.
"Does my uncle and aunt Yu really live in the inn tonight?" Lin Muyu asked.
Su Yu chuckled: "Otherwise, Muyu City is in Lanyan City but there is no Duke's Mansion, so she can only live in the inn."
Tang Xiaoxi laughed: "If Aunt Yu doesn't give up, she can accompany Mr. Yun to live in the Duke of Qihai's Mansion. There are many empty rooms in our country, and there are enough servants."
Su Yu burst out laughing: "Don't bother Princess Xi. We will leave early tomorrow morning and stay in the inn tonight. By the way, Ayu, you want to escort Princess Xi back to the house. She only brought four guards. This is not enough. You just have to go back to the temple and go along the way."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Well, I understand."
...
Watching Yun Gong, Su Qin, Su Yu and others return to the inn, Lin Muyu escorted Tang Xiaoxi back to the Duke's Mansion, and then turned back to the temple. Just when he returned to the temple, he saw the spiritual medicine department opposite him. He couldn't help but have a beautiful and warm face in his mind, and a stir in his heart. It doesn't matter, there is time to visit Chu Yao next.
When he came to the temple, he said respectfully: "I'm back, please let it go."
The two temple guards immediately recognized him and were very happy: "Mr. Lin Muyu is back? Open the door and let it go!"
After entering the temple, on the corridor, Deacon Ge Yang was waiting there with a smile and said, "Ayu, are you finally willing to return to the temple? Let's go, go to the hall, Deacon and everyone are waiting for you!"
"Well, okay, thank you Deacon of Goh."
Ge Yang led the way and came to the main hall of the temple, but found a large group of people standing here. Almost all the deacons, instructors and trainers were already present. They didn't sleep in the middle of the night, as if they were waiting for Lin Muyu's return.
"Brother Lin Muyu!"
Qin Yan smiled from afar and greeted him.
Lin Muyu also smiled and nodded, then followed Ge Yang to Lei Hong's direction, standing next to Lei Hong's throne, and everyone was waiting for something solemnly. This made Lin Muyu feel excited. Looking at this momentum, it didn't seem like welcoming a sparring trainer, but it was more like a ceremony.
But what kind of ritual would this be?
At this time, Lei Hong stood up gently and laughed loudly: "As we all know, the Empire Temple has set up a temple branch in each province. With the Temple of the Imperial Capital as its headquarters, the Temple has two deacons, the Twelve Deacons. Now the other great deacons have been traveling for many years and are missing. Among the twelve deacons, eight deacons are presided over major events in the temple branches of major provinces. There are only four deacons at the headquarters of the Imperial Capital. The Deacons of Zeng Fang resigned from his position as deacon because of the deacons of the four deacons. I have decided today to promote Lin Muyu, one of the four masters of Lan Yan, to one of the four deacons at the temple headquarters!"
Lin Muyu was stunned: "Dao Deacon, I don't have enough time on weekdays, so... it's not good, right?"
"Haha, nothing is bad."
Lei Hong patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "From now on, Lin Muyu is no longer a simple Venus accompaniment, but one of our four deacons. His main responsibility is to teach Venus instructors and Venus accompaniment various combat skills. I wonder if you have any objections?"
As the instructor of Venus, Qin Yan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother Lin Muyu's strength is still above my brother Qin Lei. He deserves the title of defeating the first-class God-Binding Lock with the tenth-class Green Gourd martial soul. He deserves it. He is the deacon, and I, Qin Yan, is the first to convince me!"
Another instructor of Venus also clasped his fists and said, "Lord Lin Muyu deserves his reputation as a deacon!"
Soon, everyone agreed.
Lei Hong turned around and smiled: "Look, everyone hopes for this deacon, you should settle down."
Lin Muyu was extremely helpless and had to nodded: "Okay, I'll try it first."
"That's right. Come and take Deacon Lin's new armor."
"yes!"
