Data Wasteland - 856 Night Banquet

“this way please.”

After a while, under the leadership of Shu Mu Xianglian, the two came to the banquet hall on the third floor of the palace.

In the long strip space, there are large long tables where dozens of people eat at the same time. The walls on both sides are covered with landscape oil paintings. There are idyllic scenery, seaside towns, and lakes and castles. It is very comfortable to watch.

A row of walnut wood dining cabinets are placed at the shorter ends, and the exquisite porcelain plates and silver tableware can be seen through the hollow wooden grid.

There are other people in the banquet hall, maybe dinner time is approaching, they are all waiting while watching the oil paintings. Judging from the clothing of these people, they should be senior officials of Tianqin.

After waiting for a while, when the hour hand of the wall clock pointed to seven o’clock, there were suddenly more people at the entrance of the banquet hall.

I saw a man in his mid-fifties who looked like a manager and walked in quickly and shouted at the people inside: “The Lord is here!”

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, and they all faced the door and saluted.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes and a majestic face walked in. I saw him strutting forward, looking straight ahead, and there was an atmosphere between his gestures and feet. When they saw him, everyone straightened their backs unconsciously, showing respect.

Chen Xing has seen the photo. This middle-aged man is the Lord of the Principality of Tianqin, Duke of Deyuan, Shu Muhongde, who was bestowed by King Malan XXII.

Behind the opponent was a tall and handsome young man with a straight nose, broad shoulders, a tough facial line, and sharp eyebrows, which fits the image of “tall, rich and handsome” on the earth.

This handsome boy with blond hair and blue eyes is Shu Mu Hengyuan, the prince of the Principality of Tianqin.

Next came a young girl of twenty-eight years. Although her body was already stretched out, her face was somewhat innocent and childish. I probably saw an acquaintance next to me, who was secretly saying hello with his little hand.

Chen Xing focused on the photo of this young girl. It was Shu Mu Hongde’s youngest daughter, Shu Mu Xiangling.

The general manager pulled the chief away, the country lord sat down, then the prince and princess, and then the country teacher and a group of courtiers, sitting down in turn.

Since Chen Xing was a guest brought by the national teacher, there was no one who was there, so he sat next to the national teacher and was closer to the chief.

After the table was served, everyone was very quiet. With the help of the servants, they fastened their napkins, put their hands on the table, and waited for the dishes to be served or for someone with more weight to speak.

Chen Xing waited for a long time, but didn’t wait for the servants to come up to serve, so he had to tie his napkins, and then put his hands flat on the dining table like other people.

Strictly speaking, this was his first time attending a palace banquet on a formal occasion. I don’t know what etiquette and rules are.

At this time, he noticed that the eldest princess Shu Mu Xianglian on the opposite side glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and then called in the manager, whispering something.

Because of the long table, he could not hear what was said, but he could guess that with the extremely unkind attitude of the princess Tianqin towards him, it must be a bad idea.

After a while, the chef came in with the dining car, and the servants distributed the dishes one by one.

Chen Xing’s dishes were different from others. The plate was a circle larger than others, with the semi-circular lid on, and he didn’t know what was inside.

He doesn’t think it would be a good thing to be treated specially, at least not in this place.

He just noticed that when the servant brought the plate up, the corner of Shu Mu Xianglian’s mouth was curved. Although it was only a moment, he was still caught by his delicate mind.

There must be something tricky!

He could feel Shu Mu Xianglian’s disgust for him. Although they had only met for less than half an hour, it was like seeing Lexi for the first time that year, as if some people were born to be

Hostile, dislike each other.

There is no hatred, but I feel extremely annoying, and I even want the other party to disappear. Perhaps this is the so-called “discrimination.”

However, his perception of danger has not been activated. There may be problems with things, but there is definitely no danger to life.

Since there is no danger, don’t care. Chen Xing opened the lid generously, and something with teeth and claws appeared in front of him.

If you change to an ordinary person, you might scream out, but Chen Xing recognized this creature-the king crab.

A live Overlord Crab is holding two large tongs to demonstrate against him.

The people around quickly noticed the situation on Chen Xing’s side and showed a stunned expression. Due to the short distance, Shu Muhongde also noticed the situation here, and looked at Sami Monroe with some confusion.

Because the strange young man was sitting next to the other person, he subconsciously judged that it was someone the other person had brought.

At this time, Shu Mu Xianglian put on her father’s hand and whispered a few words. Shu Muhongde immediately showed an expression of “it is so”.

Just when everyone was puzzled and confused, the princess cleared her throat and said, “I’m sorry, but forgot to introduce it to everyone.”

Shu Mu Xianglian looked at Chen Xing, “This is Mr. Winifred from the Melod Kingdom on the Western Continent.”

The people sitting here are all high-level officials of the Principality of Tianqin, who are among the human spirits. They immediately understood that it was this guy who had offended Her Royal Highness, so he served this dish of live crabs in order to humiliate each other.

It’s not the first time that the princess has done such a thing. Last time there was a guy with no eyes who stared at the princess’s chest with squinted eyes. As a result, he was humiliated in public and ate a turkey raw. Finally, covering his mouth while vomiting, he was so embarrassed that he did not dare to set foot on Lyra for half a step.

There was another who refused to eat raw and ended up even worse. He was thrown directly into the moat to feed the crocodile.

“Young man, this is the kindness of the eldest princess, you just accept it obediently, otherwise the consequences will be more serious.” Sammy Monroe whispered. He did it out of good intentions, and didn’t want the young people he had brought to die here unexplainably.

“This is raw,” Chen Xing said.

“I know it’s raw. It may cause diarrhea if you eat it, but it’s better than losing your life.” Sammy Monroe said, half persuasive and half threatening.

“That’s it…” Chen Xing suddenly realized, then nodded, “Okay, I’ll eat.”

Seeing Chen Xing’s consent, Sami Monroe wiped his forehead with a napkin, looking relieved.

But the next second, his cold sweat came out again.

I saw Chen Xing leisurely open the storage space, rummaged in it, took out a small kerosene stove for outdoor use, cut off a crab leg with a dining knife, broke it into several sections and threw it in a military lunch box. It is cooked on the spot, and the wine on the dining table is also used as a condiment.

Having a picnic on the palace table, he is probably the first person in all ages. Everyone was dumbfounded, and they didn’t know what the other party was from. They were so bold as to.

Shu Mu Xianglian turned pale with anger, and the two hands under the table gripped her skirt tightly, gritted her teeth, and looked at Chen Xing bitterly.

Shu Muhongde was also a little surprised when he saw it, but he just smiled, ignored it, and continued to talk with the ministers around him.

Chen Xing’s psychic energy fluctuations are only guard-level. In this palace, a small shrimp can’t turn the sky.

The little princess Shu Mu Xiangling opened her eyes curiously, watching Chen Xing’s every move, her big eyes flickering, she turned her head to look at her angry sister from time to time, her expression was a little confused, she didn’t seem to understand what was going on.

In this way, Chen Xing is in full view

Under the gaze, the crab legs were cooked, and then the red-boiled shell was peeled off carelessly, and the white and tender crab meat inside was eaten.

“Well, it tastes good.” Chen Xing picked up half of a crab leg and stuffed it into Sami Monroe’s dinner plate, and said enthusiastically, “You can try it too, it’s very sweet.”

Sami Monroe was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a place to sew in, wondering what the **** was in this guy’s head, wouldn’t it be paste? Even if he dared to do this kind of thing in front of the lord and the courtiers, did he eat the bear heart and leopard gall, or was tired of his life and wanted to find a place to commit suicide.

At this time, Shu Mu Xianglian, who was pale with anger, called the palace chief over again and muttered in the other’s ear for a while.

The manager nodded and left. It seems that Princess Tianqin has any new tricks.

Chen Xing saw it in his eyes, but didn’t understand the expressions on his face. He continued to make his boiled crabs and enthusiastically distributed them to the officials around him.

Perhaps it was to ease the awkward atmosphere on the table and give the princess a step down, and the national teacher Sami Monroe initiated a new topic.

“Everyone sitting here, don’t you know what your opinion of the prime minister of Ice Blue City?”

Talking about the enemy’s supreme official at the dinner table is indeed the best topic to divert attention. It not only echoes political correctness, but can also arouse wide-ranging discussion.

“Guoji, do you mean the little white face who crawls on the woman’s bed?” a middle-aged official asked with a smile, with ridicule and disdain in his tone.

“A villain who only knows how to flatter.” “Traitor.” “Shameless trash!” “Blue city **** demon, this name is too appropriate.” “The dog under the big **** skirt.”

All the courtiers expressed their opinions and mocked Chen Xing.

However, they didn’t know that the “junk prime minister” in their mouths was sitting in front of them at the moment, calm and insulted, as if it was not him but someone else.

Just as everyone laughed, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.

“You shouldn’t be so contemptuous of an enemy general.”

It was Shu Muhengyuan, the prince of the Principality of Tianqin. As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole audience immediately calmed down, all eyes were on him.

“As far as I know, this Chen Xing is still very capable. It is not as rumored to be based on a woman’s superiority. He must be favored by the Golden Eyed Witch and the Bloody Queen at the same time.” Shu Muheng is far away. The voice said, “If we look down on him, we are likely to pay an extremely heavy price.”

Duke Deyuan glanced at his eldest son, with a little contempt in his eyes, “We don’t have to worry too much about this incompetent little person. If virtue is not worthy, it will not be long-term. I think he can still jump for a few days. .”

“Father…” The prince wanted to argue, but was interrupted roughly by his father. “Don’t say it anymore. If I don’t have the ability, I will work harder and treat a dog as a threat. It is simply a loss of our Shumu royal family. face.”

Shu Mu Hengyuan clenched his fists, resentment in his eyes, but he didn’t say any more. Because he knew that any more words would only make his father look down on him even more.

At this time, the new dishes arranged by Shu Mu Xianglian for Chen Xing arrived.

This time the servant did not just lift the lid as he did last time.

A colorful fish appeared in front of him, its body bulging like a prickly ball.

“Colorful Pufferfish!” someone whispered.

Pufferfish are highly toxic, the most toxic of the colorful pufferfish. Even with the antidote, you will lose half your life if you eat it.

Chen Xing showed a weird smile as he looked at the colorful pufferfish that were joined together one by one.

He raised his wrist and whispered to the black watch:

“The action begins!”
