Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms - Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Thrilling Banquet

In mid-June, the delegation of the State of Wei entered Chendu, had an audience with Emperor Chen, handed over the letter of credence, and brought the national treasure of the State of Wei, the Flying Glass Statue.

For a moment, Chen Du was full of wind, and everyone moved up and down.

The beauty of the flying glazed statue, camouflage and illusion, crystal clear, is simply impossible to find in the world. Anyone who has seen it is amazed.

In just a few days, the Flying Glazed Statue has gained a great reputation in Chendu, and there are one after another mythical legends. Somehow, it was attached to this Flying Glazed Statue.

With all kinds of legends as footnotes, the name of the Flying Glass Statue as a national treasure is even more confirmed.

Emperor Chen got this treasure, cherished it very much for a while, and held banquets for several days in succession, all to watch the flying glazed statue. He also ordered the dancers and singers to make up a repertoire based on this theme. They indulged in day and night, drunk and dreamed, and didn’t know what day and night it was.

As the saying goes, the whole of Chen Du’s atmosphere has been affected by Emperor Chen’s attitude of living through today and never seeing tomorrow.

Cheng Ling also saw another kind of prosperity in Chendu that was different from Weijing.

If the prosperity of Wei Jing is majestic and majestic, and it is more reflected in the prosperity of culture, food and clothing, and the prosperity of the people, then the prosperity of Chendu is rotten, rotten, and even to some extent, stinky!

In Chendu, Cheng Ling has seen dudes who rob people in the street, old men who are beaten and helpless, young girls who are crying, and orphans whose families have been ruined…

There are too many, every day, every hour, every moment, there are tragic stories that look different but have similar cores.

In front of the powerful class, ordinary civilians are like nothing, but the untouchables who are lower than the nobility are not even “people” at all!

It’s not that they are really not human, but that in the eyes of the nobles above, the value of these people is almost equal to nothing. People who are almost nothing are even worse than livestock.

Every day, absurdities are refreshed in front of Cheng Ling’s eyes, and the next day, there are even more absurd and incredible things.

For example, at a certain night banquet of the monarch, Emperor Chen ordered people to roll out the human body, and a beautiful dancer in thin clothes snuggled into Cheng Ling’s arms, and her soft and boneless hands groped for Cheng Ling without any explanation.

Cheng Ling immediately pushed the person away, and Emperor Chen asked with his drunken eyes: “What? Cheng Shaoqing doesn’t like this lowly maid?”

Without waiting for Cheng Ling to answer, Chen Di beckoned the dancer to come to him.

The dancer walked over gracefully, Chen Di pulled him, suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, swiped it, blood splashed, the dancer cried out in pain, and a pair of jade arms flew into the sky.

Then it rolled down on the scarlet carpet in the hall.

Emperor Chen actually chopped off the dancer’s hand just like that!

Cheng Ling immediately clenched the wine glass on the table in front of him, his knuckles turned white with force, and almost crushed the bronze wine bottle on the spot.

Emperor Chen cut off Wu Ji’s hand in public, but he didn’t take it seriously. He just drunkenly ordered someone to drag Wu Ji down, and said with a smile: “The poor maid is incompetent, and I can’t serve Cheng Shaoqing well. Naturally, I won’t allow her.”

In the main hall, several officials of the Chen Kingdom responded and cheered for Emperor Chen loudly, and Emperor Chen laughed triumphantly.

Emperor Chen beckoned, and another dancer snuggled up to Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling got up immediately, put down his wine glass and clasped his fists and said: “Please forgive me, the lord, the foreign minister is too drunk, so I have to leave first.”

After speaking, she put down her hands before Chen Di said anything, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Cheng Ling walked so simply that everyone in the hall was stunned. Including the members of the Wei State Mission, many people did not expect Cheng Ling to be so bold, and left as soon as he said it, and it seemed that those who were still in the palace felt a little embarrassed.

Zou Wei and other officials looked at each other. He Yanqing clenched his fists, gritted his teeth secretly, and suddenly stood up abruptly.

“I beg Lord Chen to forgive me, but the foreign ministers are too drunk, so I resigned.”

After He Yanqing finished speaking, he picked up the corner of his robe and followed Cheng Ling with strides.

In the end, Zou Wei and the others were left in the hall, and Zou Wei bit the bullet and said: “Master Cheng and Master He are both handsome men of our country, but they are younger and cannot drink alcohol. They did not intend to be rude. Don’t blame the king, haha, hahaha… ”

Emperor Chen’s drunken eyes were red, and he laughed and said, “No, no. How can I be such a narrow-minded person? Come on, continue to drink, play music, and dance, hahaha…”

Drunk life, dreams and death, wine pools and meat forests, strings and bamboos are all over the place, and it is another nightless day.

Cheng Ling and He Yanqing left the palace soon, accompanied by black armored guards, and their horseshoes were flying. Cheng Ling kept her face sullen. She rode on a horse and led the way through the streets of Chen Guo until they entered the hotel assigned to them by Chen Guo.

The inside and outside of the hotel are all guarded by black armored guards, only a few servants arranged by Chen Guo, who came forward to greet Cheng Ling and He Yanqing after seeing them.

Cheng Ling got off his horse and walked in quickly.

Soon, Chen Guo’s servants were all thrown away, and the entourage brought from Wei Guo came up to them, Cheng Ling said: “Get water, I want to take a bath.”

After saying this sentence, her mood eased a little, and finally she whispered to He Yanqing: “I underestimated Emperor Chen!”

He Yanqing also had anger in his chest. After getting along recently, he was the closest to Cheng Ling among the officials of the mission. Especially when the black armored guards were brought into the city by Cheng Ling, He Yanqing admired Cheng Ling even more.

But for a while, he couldn’t figure out what Cheng Ling meant when he looked down on Emperor Chen, so he immediately asked, “Brother Cheng, what do you mean by that? Emperor Chen is ridiculous and cruel, so is there any deeper meaning?”

Privately, He Yanqing is commensurate with Brother Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling said in a low voice: “Mr. Zhang is in the north. He would rather offend Wei Guo and hurt himself by eight hundred, but also anger us!”

He Yanqing understood right away, what Cheng Ling meant was that Emperor Chen wanted to use a sword to kill people, anger Wei Guo, and use up the strength of the Zhang clan.

But He Yanqing was a little unbelievable: “Brother Cheng, do you think highly of Chen Di, such a person addicted to wine and sex, he would have such courage? He is not afraid of doing too much and ruining the entire foundation?”

Going to war is not a joke, if you are not careful, you will play with fire and set yourself on fire!

He Yanqing thought of all the rumors he had heard before, that Emperor Chen was cruel and obsequious, and he was a puppet emperor in general. I really can’t believe that he would have the courage to go to war.

Cheng Ling said: “Don’t underestimate an emperor who sits in the highest position, but is trapped in a cage and looks like a puppet. He is no longer a normal person, and we must not consider him with ordinary people’s thinking.”

But immediately afterwards, Cheng Ling said: “Of course, it is also possible that I guessed wrong. In short, everyone cheers up in the past few days, and let’s see the next changes.”

He Yanqing immediately lifted his spirits, and said in a deep voice: “Brother Cheng, don’t worry, we will be careful in everything.”
