Section 27 Banquet

While admiring the various elegant buildings in the palace, Wufeng was also thinking about the questions that were likely to be raised at today's banquet. There is no good banquet. Since people have already placed the banquet so grandly to invite themselves to the banquet, in addition to the apparent gratitude, they probably need to discuss the next trends and directions.

Just like the royal palaces of other countries, Wuyou Palace is located in the center of the capital, Morlington. It does not occupy too much land, but the architectural art is quite unique. The entire palace is divided into two parts. The first half is of course an office area for discussing government affairs, while the second half separated by a profound palace wall is Grand Duke Allen's harem.

Today, Grand Duke Allen seemed to be too happy and even set the venue for the banquet in the harem that even ministers were difficult to enter. Perhaps because he thought that the guests who needed to be entertained were too important, so that he could show his respect and gratitude.

Through the magnificent harem gate, four guards wearing luxurious etiquette armor stood up and saluted the VIP. Wufeng casually talked and laughed with his several subordinates and walked by under the leadership of the receptionist. To be honest, he was not interested in this kind of vain ritual that obviously imitated some countries in the Western Continent. Although this thick armor looked bright in color, it looked majestic but not practical at all. As an infantryman, he held the halberd that should have been used by heavy cavalry, which looked even more out of place. Of course, it was hard to see if he took it out and showed his majesty.

However, Wu Feng, who entered the harem, was shocked by the oncoming building. This was a typical Baroque building. The elegant and elegant circular colonnade looked light and a hint of liveliness. A quiet fountain pool in the middle suddenly faded the summer heat.

A half-naked female statue full of maternal glory in the center of the fountain pool is lifelike. She protects the little boy under her ribs with one hand and seems to be blocking the water from the surrounding fountains. The water column comes from the toad sculptures around her. Dozens of toads with different expressions are shaped like real objects. The whole scene seems so harmonious and natural, making people feel refreshed.

As Wufeng's pace slowed down, Cui Wenxiu, Kang Jianguo, Song Tianxiong and Sha Lang's footsteps also slowed down. The guide in front seemed to have noticed the change. After looking back, he discovered Wufeng's abnormality, and proudly introduced: "Mr. Li seems to be interested in architectural sculptures in the Western Continent? This was designed and built by the famous artists invited by Dagong for a lot of money. I really have a good eye."

"Oh?" As if he had just woken up from his dream, Wu Feng shook his lips slightly and smiled bitterly, "Well, it is indeed a work by a famous artist. I'm afraid this colonnade and fountain sculpture are worth a lot of money, right?"

I haven't seen such an authentic Baroque building for a long time. Well, it seems that the colonnade has a hint of Ionian soft and delicate smell. In this moment, Wufeng's heart seemed to fly back to his former study life in Heidelberg. Even his consciousness seemed to be a little dazed. Fortunately, the words of the guide call him back from the sacred tour, and even the subordinates behind him noticed the incompetence of his boss.

"Yes, the Grand Duke is very fond of Tanghe art in the East and the architecture of the Western Continent. This is also the architectural designer hired by the Grand Duke to design it in the Famini Empire in the Western Continent. Even the construction workers were invited back from the Western Continent." The guide saw that Wufeng was really interested, and quickly came forward to introduce it in detail like a pet: "These building materials are all high-quality marble, and the sculptures were carefully carved according to the requirements. The fire jade produced on the Marston wasteland was carved and finely. It was white and greasy, and it looked exactly like the skin of a real person."

It seemed that he was not interested in what materials to build. Wufeng nodded casually. This sculpture is a scene in the myth of the Western Continent - Latone's son protector. After Ratone gave birth to a son Apollo for the god, he was exiled by the queen and had to beg for food from the farmer. The farmer spitted at her. The god was furious and turned these unknown farmers into toads. This sculpture was not common in the Western Continent, but there was one on the campus of Heidelberg University. When studying at Heidelberg University, in the evening, Wufeng loved to rest and read books in the sculpture, enjoying the rare pleasure after a day of fatigue. The faces of classmates and friends seemed to be a little blurred, but at this moment it became clear, and flashed through his mind like pictures.

At this time, even the guide saw that the sculpture in front of him touched Wufeng's memory something hidden in a corner. The crowd was waiting quietly aside, waiting for Wufeng, whose face was changing, to wake up from his dream.

After a long time, Wufeng walked out of the long river of memory, glanced at the waiting people around him and said, "Well, everyone has been waiting for a long time. Let's go, the grandpa and the others are probably waiting in a hurry." After that, he took the lead.

The people exchanged glances with each other, without saying anything, and they didn't know that their boss was touched. They stood by this mysterious broken sculpture for a long time, but they couldn't tell whether the adult's emotions were good or bad, so they had to follow them quietly.

The banquet began in a joyful and joyful atmosphere, with wine serene and full of wine; the fragrance of flowers and hairs, and the gorgeous and slightly provocative palace dances made Wufeng's generals look so beautiful that they looked so beautiful. Even Wufeng, who was knowledgeable, had to admit that the old guy Alan had no ability to govern the country, but he was no less than any monarch in terms of enjoyment.

After thirty years of wine, after five flavors, and when the ears are hot, all the topics seem to be easier to talk about. In addition to the military generals brought by Wufeng, Derlock also accompanied the military minister Lan Meng and the head of the Derlock Royal Guard Corps, the Duke of Balins, the commander of the Tanghe Empire reinforcements, Qin Feng, who assisted the Duke of Balins to defend the city, was naturally excluded. Just as Grand Duke Alan and Duke Lan Meng frequently persuaded Wufeng to drink, Balins was also under the key "siege" of his allies. The waves of urging drinks were constantly pushed to the climax of the banquet. Almost everyone seemed to have forgotten that most of the territory of Derlock was still in the hands of the Kamans, enjoying this rare ease.

"Mr. Li, the Kamans are powerful and powerful, and they are powerful in the Eastern Continent. They are also the king and dominant among the Liberian countries. Lan Meng has seen many world-renowned people, but the combat effectiveness of the Kaman army is indeed ashamed of Lan Meng. When I met Lord Li's Northwest Army yesterday, I realized that the strong ones have their own strong ones. No wonder the strong ones are as bloody as the Scarmans in front of Lord Li. Lan Meng Shi really admires him. Come on, Lord Li, you and I have made this cup!"

The military minister, whose face was red and drunk, seemed to be in a good mood. He had a few glasses of wine with Wufeng. Although Wufeng was not good at drinking, he was suppressing his internal force and was not a problem. He readily obeyed his orders. A glass of golden-colored top-quality champagne was sipped in one go.

"Haha, nephew, you have many brave generals under your command, all of whom are both civil and military. No wonder both Luobei and Luzon people bowed down in front of you. Now you have defeated Miley, who is known as the two pillars of Kaman. This is well deserved to be the title of the first army commander of the Eastern Continent. Come on, I would like to pay a cup to you!" Grand Duke Alan, who was smiling, swept away the sorrow he had done a few days ago and raised his cup with great enthusiasm.

"You are too proud. My nephew's group of martial artists who don't understand the current affairs are all martial artists. They can't be called both civil and military. They just went to the battlefield. They are all life-and-death battles. No one can retreat. They won a few lucky wins, and they can't count them." Wufeng knew what the two old foxes were thinking, and pushed the topic away casually. "Although the Kaman retreated north, his strength has not been damaged, and he may make a comeback at any time. Miley is as cunning as a fox. It's really hard to get better than to climb to heaven if he wants to take advantage of him."

Alan and Lan Meng quietly exchanged a glance, and the Minister of Military Affairs smiled with a hearty smile: "Yes, Lord Li, you and the Duke are soon a family. If you don't talk about two families, this is your business. Now the Jiama area has been in the hands of the enemy for several years, and the local gentry is looking forward to returning day and night. At present, the Fanlin is surrounded by the enemy and is in danger. If you don't help quickly, you will probably be unable to escape the clutches of the Kaman. But the empire is powerless at the moment, and our hope can only be placed on you. Please be sure to support it."

The earnest words and expectant eyes made Wufeng, who was paralyzed by alcohol, almost agreed. Fortunately, Wufeng had never had the habit of making decisions easily. After pretending to ponder, he was actually thinking carefully about how to deal with it.

"Dagong, Lord Lan Meng, it is not that Li Wufeng is unwilling to help your country restore the mountains and rivers. I can understand your feelings. Who would like to see his people crying and sinking under the clutches of the invaders? Just as Lord Lan Meng said just now, Gerok and the Northwest should be a family, and no one has to distinguish between you and me. Gerok's affairs are naturally the Northwest affairs, that is, I, Li Wufeng. However, the current situation and the next plan still need to be carefully analyzed and discussed. The Kaman returned north, but still retained more than 100,000 troops. In addition, the troops stationed in Fanlin and Jiama, more than 200,000 people. Do we have the strength to destroy or defeat them now?" Without a direct rejection proposal, Wufeng's face was filled with indignation, but he cleverly raised his own questions at the end.
