Douluo's Long Night

Chapter 140 Engagement
Luxuriously dressed nobles filed in.

All guards and retainers who did not have invitations were blocked from this door, and only one person was allowed to enter with one invitation.

All the guards had to wait in the hall. There were tables and meals in the waiting room, and the guards could eat in the waiting room.

Granite, Levi, and Lu Liangxinling were naturally blocked from this door without exception, and were not allowed to take a step forward.

Xu Junfang was quite worried, he didn't know anything about the plan, and he didn't know how to carry out the assassination, but if he couldn't enter the inner hall, how could he do the assassination?
Confused, Xu Junfang didn't show his feet, and naturally followed Luo Yixue, Luo Chengfeng and many young Luo family disciples into the inner hall.

There are rows of lights hanging on both sides of the promenade, the walls are decorated magnificently, and the red carpet on the ground is inlaid with gold edges, all of which reveal the luxury of this place.

Not long after walking, Xu Junfang followed the flow of people to the hall at the other end of the corridor. This hall is even bigger than the previous one.

Although the room is large, it doesn't look empty at all. Countless round tables covered with platinum tablecloths are arranged in an orderly manner in the room, and the distance between the tables is basically the same.

Except for a group of people walking in front of Mr. Xu's room, there was no one else in the room, and Emperor Xing Luo who had just spoken did not know where he was now.

"Junfang, this way." Luo Yixue called softly.

Xu Junfang came back to his senses, and found that Luo Yixue had already occupied a large round table, and on the table stood a square metal plaque with a soaring eagle engraved on it.

It was only then that Xu Junfang noticed that there were more or less different numbers of gold medals placed on each table, symbolizing different families.

The eagle is the symbol of the Luo family.

Hearing Luo Yixue's call, Xu Junfang walked over and sat down next to him. Such a close position made many caring people who always pay attention to Luo's family keep in mind.

Luo Chengfeng also followed and sat down on the left side of Xu Junfang.

More and more people came in from the corridor, and Xu Junfang and Luo Chengfeng continued to chat again and again.

Because Xu Junfang spends most of his time on cultivation, he doesn't know much about the nobles of the Star Luo Empire, and is at the stage where he only knows the surnames of the noble families.

Luo Chengfeng is different. He trained in the Royal Academy of the Star Luo Empire and knows everything about these nobles.

Xu Junfang was interested in asking for advice, and Luo Chengfeng was interested in telling him that Luo Chengfeng secretly introduced to Xu Junfang many nobles with relatively important status or talents with relatively outstanding talents.

The ruling class of the Star Luo Empire is mostly aristocrats, and the inheritance of martial arts is mostly based on the family, but there are very few individuals in the Star Luo Dynasty.

With the surging flow of people, all families, large and small, found their seats, and people from the Luo family also arrived one after another.

Xu Junfang saw his aunt Luo Qixue once again, and some other retainers of the Luo family whom Xu Junfang had never met, but Luo Pan and Luo Mastiff of the older generation did not come.

Xu Junfang greeted them one by one.

Talking quickly at the banquet, after a while all the seats present were basically filled. Xu Junfang looked around and found that the people present were basically the younger generation, and the speakers at each table were not very old.

Obviously, this is a dinner party that is more inclined to young people.

"stirrup!"

The two heavily armored guards standing on both sides of the entire dinner hall hammered the floor heavily with spears in their hands, and the dull sound of smashing the ground resounded throughout the audience.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

tread!tread!tread!
The sound of high heels stomping on the ground came from far to near, step by step from outside the corridor, and everyone looked sideways.

A very gorgeously dressed, graceful and luxurious beautiful mature woman walked from the door to the front of the hall surrounded by many armored guards.

The woman's bright and colorful decorations all tend to be dark, and the steps of the whole person's walking also give people a noble feeling.

Queen Star Luo.

Of course Xu Junfang knew this beautiful mature woman. As a nobleman of Emperor Xingluo and the successor of Wuhun Palace, Xu Junfang had naturally seen the picture of Empress Xingluo.

Of course, this was the first time seeing a real person, Xu Junfang felt that Empress Xingluo's appearance was a bit more noble than in the picture.

"I have seen Her Majesty the Queen!"

As soon as the queen appeared on the stage, everyone stood up to respond.

Bathed in dignified awe, the empress walked slowly to the front of the entire hall. The empress presumably led the dinner.

"The ones present today are the humerus of our Star Luo Empire, the pillars of Star Luo's future..."

The queen made an opening remark for no less than 5 minutes. Her voice was very gentle and contagious. Although she said all polite words, everyone present listened to her satisfaction.

"This time I invite you to come to witness the engagement of Mubai and Zhuqing. This dinner is divided into three sections. The first section is the engagement ceremony, the second section is singing and dancing, and the last section is the ball."

"Then now the engagement ceremony officially begins!"

"Mubai, Zhuqing, come in!"

oh?Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing?

After hearing the words "Mubai and Zhuqing" from Empress Xingluo's mouth, Xu Junfang immediately thought of these two people.

Xu Junfang's gaze turned to the corridor door naturally.

A man and a woman walked slowly into the hall from the long corridor, receiving countless gazes.

The boy is well-proportioned, with soft blond hair, and his heroism is beginning to show.

The most peculiar thing is that the possessor of the evil-eyed white tiger spirit has double pupils, and the colors of the two eyes are red and blue, extremely magnificent.

The girl walking beside Dai Mubai is naturally Zhu Zhuqing, she was only 7 years old at this time, her figure has already begun to take shape, and her pretty face that is extremely pink and tender makes one can't help but want to play with it.

Is that them?Xu Junfang looked at the two people who approached the hall with a slightly scrutinizing and playful attitude. Not surprisingly, these two people will be the enemies of the Wuhun Temple in the future, and they are also the enemies that Xu Junfang needs to face.

"Come, come here." Empress Xing Luo beckoned.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing obediently stood still in front of Empress Xingluo, facing everyone present.

Before the empress could speak, a burly man got up from the round table engraved with the civet gold medal, brought along many retainers, and stood not far from Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Dai Mubai, my youngest son, who is also the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, will be engaged to Zhu Zhuqing, daughter of the Star Luo Zhu family. May the friendship between the Zhu family and the Star Luo royal family last forever."

Empress Xing Luo looked at the burly man standing aside and said, "General?"

The burly man clasped his fist with his right hand, pressed it on his chest, and bent slightly: "May the friendship between the royal family and the Zhu family last forever!"

The burly man was none other than Zhu Yongtao, the current head of the Xingluo Zhu family, the great general of the Xingluo Empire, and the Queen Xingluo was his own sister.

The Xingluo Zhu family has been married to the Xingluo royal family for generations. The head of the Xingluo Zhu family will always be the general of the Xingluo Empire. Only with the same interests can there be a long-term alliance.

"Mubai." The queen beckoned.

Dai Mubai nodded, took out a string of golden necklaces from his hands, and put them on for Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was still young, and just obeyed the arrangement, Dai Mubai put the necklace on very obediently, and she looked at Dai Mubai with gentle eyes.

This string of gold necklaces is the evidence of engagement, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. There are only two strings in total. When one party loses, the other gold necklace will be deprived from the losing party.

"Thank you queen." Zhu Zhuqing uttered a rare voice, his voice was cold and timid.

"The dowry!" said the Queen.

The guards behind her were in pairs, and they had prepared a large amount of dowry. This engagement had to be said to be extravagant.

The retainers behind Zhu Yongtao received the betrothal gifts, and these generals took care of Zhu Zhuqing temporarily, and then a group of retainers came out behind him, presenting Dai Mubai with fine clothes and trousers.

"Zhu Zhuqing from the Xingluo Zhu family and Dai Mubai from the Xingluo royal family are engaged today, all of you here are witnesses!"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

The nobles around the round table toasted one after another, celebrating the new baby marriage between the Xingluo royal family and the Xingluo Zhu family.

Although it was just an engagement, everyone knew that each generation of the Xingluo royal family and the Xingluo Zhu family would only select two couples for engagement, and these two pairs of princes and princesses would compete for the throne of the next generation of Xingluo emperors.

This engagement is to inform them that the two princes fighting for power in the Star Luo Empire have settled down, Davis and Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.

Next, it's time for them to stand in line.

Everyone knows that the eldest son is generally the most qualified to compete for the throne, because he is older and receives relatively more support. This is the advantage of speaking early

The age of 25 is a limited time, if Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing do not show comparable qualifications before Davis turns 25, the road ahead will be even more difficult.

The reason why Xingluo adopted such a cruel method was to make Emperor Xingluo an outstanding talent instead of a waste of food and drink.

Throughout history, the number of non-eldest sons surpassing the eldest sons to obtain the throne of Star Luo Emperor is not many, but it does exist, and this kind of competition system is not a dead end for the princes born later.

Looking at Dai Mubai who was enjoying the gaze on the high platform, Xu Junfang was even more curious about Davis' attitude at this time.

Xu Junfang turned his head.

Davis' left arm was attached to a girl with a devil's figure, and the two of them looked at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing with playful and cold eyes.

Xu Junfang cast a few glances at Zhu Zhuyun's gigantic evil, and secretly staggered, Xingluo Zhu's gene is nothing else, but this figure is really inhuman.

"The banquet is now officially open! Everyone, please enjoy tonight's time to the fullest!"

The queen stepped down gracefully, while the two announcers of tonight's banquet held their microphones and stood on the stage to announce the first program of tonight:
"The golden rabbit dances!"

Xu Junfang glanced at the stage, and countless singers and dancers in glittering golden clothes began to dance on the stage, melodious and melodious music wafted in the arena.

The dinner table in front of Xu Junfang had already been served a sumptuous dinner, but due to the etiquette and rules of the nobility, every movement of the meal needs to be decent, which made Xu Junfang, who is used to being undisciplined, a little uncomfortable.

　I'm not very good at writing banquets and the like, I won't have any in the future, please forgive me
