Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

When Han Yue heard him talking about my people, her usually indifferent face couldn't help but blush. Then she raised her head and looked at Jiang Rou, raised her eyebrows and said, "This girl is..."

While Luo Qi and Han Yue were talking, Jiang Rou was also quietly sizing her up. When she saw that the guard Luo Qi mentioned turned out to be a female guard, and saw them talking so cordially, she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, but she still She immediately suppressed her, and Yingying bowed and said: "My name is Jiang Rou, and I have followed His Highness now."

Han Yue saw that she was standing next to Luo Qi, and she was still looking very intimate. She couldn't help but understand. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still held her hands indifferently and said: "My subordinate Han Yue has met the mistress."

This call made Jiang Rou feel shy again. She lowered her head and looked quite embarrassed. When she found that Luo Qi didn't correct the other party's title, she couldn't help but feel even more satisfied.

While they were talking, they saw Fan Kuai walking upstairs: "The King of Chu is hosting a banquet in the palace and wants to entertain His Highness. I haven't replied to the envoy yet. I wonder if Your Highness wants to go?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "We have already failed him once, so we should agree this time."

Hearing this, Han Yue quickly wanted to get up: "Your Highness, please allow me to clean up for a moment. I have to follow Your Highness to protect your safety."

Roach pushed her back onto the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, and said, "Your injury has not healed yet, so you should have a good rest."

Han Yue shook her head slightly and said, "King Chu's attitude is ambiguous. I'm afraid something might happen to His Highness."

Luo Qi said with a smile: "Even if the King of Chu doesn't want to send troops to aid the Wu Kingdom, he will definitely not do anything bad to me. Unless his head is squeezed through the crack of the door, there is no need to become a mortal enemy of our Yue Kingdom in vain, not to mention that I have Fan Kuai. Follow me, what can he do to me?"

Hearing what Luo Qi said, Han Yue had no choice but to nod lightly.When Fan Kuai heard his lord commending him in this way, he naturally held his head high and was proud of himself.

Not to be outdone, Jiang Rou said, "I also want to accompany His Highness."

Luo Qi turned around, smiled slightly, and joked: "You are still injured like Han Yue, so you should stay in the hotel to recuperate."

Jiang Rou heard what he meant and couldn't help but said shyly: "I hate it!"

Luo Qi smiled and took Fan Kuai to the palace for the banquet.

The palace of Chu State is located in the center of the capital city of Ying, surrounded by city walls. Haoran is a small city.

As soon as Luo Qi arrived at the palace, Yin Zixi came over. He was the envoy personally appointed by the King of Chu to welcome him.

The banquet was held in Zhaode Hall of Chu Palace. According to Zixi's introduction, Zhaode Hall is the largest palace in Chu Palace and can accommodate nearly a hundred banquet tables. He also specifically said: "For today's banquet, the King of Chu specially ordered that the size of the capital Officials are required to participate as a sign of respect.”

After hearing this, Luo Qi smiled faintly and said coldly in his heart: "If you really respect him so much, there is no need to exclude yourself from the city in the first place."

When Luo Qi arrived at Zhaode Hall, Zhaode Hall was already full of guests.

Luo Qi looked around and saw that King Chu's royal seat was located directly in front of the north of the main hall. There were more than [-] rows of banquets on the left and right sides. It was divided into three floors, and each table could seat three people.

Under the leadership of Zixi, Luo Qi came to the empty seat in the first row on the right side below the king's throne and sat down.

According to etiquette, the person closest to the king's seat has a higher status, and in this era, the right is respected. Luo Qi's position in the upper right corner shows that the King of Chu attaches great importance to him.

The hall is extremely luxuriously decorated, with two giant paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, namely "Silk Painting of Figures Royal with Dragon" and "Silk Painting of Figures Dragon and Phoenix", which can be described as majestic and majestic, fittingly fitting the palace. of luxury.

Luo Qi took a closer look and almost screamed, knowing that these two paintings were the Chinese Soul Treasures.

The "Silk Painting of Characters Riding a Dragon" depicts the scene of a wizard ascending to heaven on a dragon.The wizard wears a wide robe and a high crown, wears a long sword on his waist, holds a stiff rope in his hand, and controls the dragon with a cool expression.The dragon's head is majestic, its tail is curled, and its body is in a boat, moving forward in the wind.There is a long-necked crane standing on the dragon's tail, and there are swimming fish under the dragon's body.The canopy ribbons and wizard's belts in the silk painting flutter in the wind, showing the momentum of the wizard ascending on a dragon.

"Silk Painting of Figures, Dragons and Phoenix" is rectangular in shape, made of dark brown plain silk, and uses freehand brushwork to depict figures, dragons and phoenixes.In the painting, there is an aristocratic woman standing sideways and praying with her hands together. She is wearing a long-sleeved robe with a slim waist and a sincere expression. The floral robe is decorated with cloud-like patterns. The woman is stepping on a half-moon-shaped object, which looks like a dragon boat. , can also be interpreted as a crescent moon. The upper part of the woman's front is painted with a phoenix bird with a high neck and head, curled tail feathers, flying upward gracefully. Corresponding to the phoenix is ​​a yellow dragon with outstretched legs and curled tail, bent body, and soaring. .

These two paintings are the first two silk paintings to appear in China, no, in the world in the 21st century. The paintings immediately shocked the world when they were unearthed, and were designated as priceless soul treasures by the country. It is said that someone once offered tens of billions but failed to buy them. One of them.

At that time, Roach had seen these two paintings in the collection hall, so he was deeply impressed. Now that he saw these two paintings again, he felt vaguely enlightened.

There are countless heroes in this world, who can correspond to famous ministers and generals in Chinese history. He always thought that this was the connection between the two worlds, but now it seems that the connection between the two worlds may be closer than he imagined. .

Why does this world exist, and where will it eventually go?

Roach pondered for a moment and then retracted his thoughts. It was impossible to find answers to these questions because everything was out of logic and it was difficult to deduce the results from any angle.

He looked away from the two paintings and began to look at the guests around him. Several people with different expressions caught his attention, so he asked Zixi about their identities, and finally got a satisfactory answer.

What he was interested in were the two people in the upper left group, especially the tall and tall old man sitting in the center, with a strange appearance and deep eyes, shining with the light of a wise man. He looked like a man among gods. And he is Ye Gong Shen Zhuliang, the protagonist of the famous Ye Gong Haolong in history.

Another person who attracted him was a figure in the second row on the right dressed as a military general. Although he was dressed as a military general, he did not have any recklessness. His movements were elegant and generous, but there was a sinister and cunning look in his eyes from time to time. And he was from the Chu Kingdom. Sima Ziqi.

There are three people in the last group. The oldest one has an ordinary appearance, but his clothes are luxurious. His identity is obviously not simple.The remaining two people were both dressed as military attachés. One had a majestic appearance and exuded a fierce aura, while the other was a young man with whom he had met once before. It was General Cai Cheng who appeared in the restaurant yesterday.

The three of them are obviously members of the Cai family, and they are also the biggest obstacle to his visit.

When Luo Qi saw them talking and laughing, his eyes gradually turned cold.

He was the crown prince of the Yue Kingdom, but they dared to assassinate him blatantly. Little did they know that this would inevitably lead to a breakdown in the relationship between Chu and Yue, and eventually lead to war. Such lack of foresight was really a huge fool.

And since the assassination was carried out, the hatred between the two parties could not be resolved.
