Chapter 20: Banquet is a Trap? Im Not Afraid! (1/2)

Chapter 20: Banquet is a Trap? I’ood?” Gouyu was averse to accepting the situation She still felt particularly ahenever she thought of being lectured by Jiang Chen It was a bit hard for her to let go of face and adhtly pulled Eastern Zhiruo into a one arht that after what happened at the Rites of Heavenly worshi+p, fortune has befallen us in the wake of disaster Is it the will of the heavens to use Jiang Chen’s hand as a vessel to ease Ruo’er’s suffering?”

The ht about it, the more that this explanation beca Chen is in the capital to participate in the Hidden Dragon Trials, how are his grades?” Eastern Lu suddenly remembered this matter

“Royal brother, out of the 108 heirs, this Jiang Chen’s grades are without a doubt the last in his class And up until now, he hasn’t passed a single one of the three foundational exams There are only three or four more days until the final deadline at the end of the month If he still can’t pass them then, then he won’t even have the qualifications to participate in the final exaon Trials” Gouyu could only answer honestly

“That bad?” Eastern Lu was also quite surprised “This puts me in a difficult position If this kid cannot pass even the foundational exams and lose his family’s duchy as a result Then my intentions to award honors and riches…”

“You reap what you sow He didn’t try before, it wouldn’t be an injustice for his fa this first Since you’ve puteasy on anyone” Gouyu still kept a stiff upper lip

“Haha, hoould I put you in a difficult position If being a duke truly isn’t written in his stars, then being a powerless official in the capital is just as good No power or influence, or wealth and riches That’d be quite a carefree life as well”

This was actually Eastern Lu’s preferred conclusion to the matter Otherwise, all the various dukes would return to their territories after the Hidden Dragon Trials, and who then would treat Eastern Zhiruo’s illness?

“Oh right, royal brother, speaking of the Hidden Dragon Trials, Gouyu received an invitation today It caon duchy?” Eastern Lu vaguely creased his brow, obviously quite sensitive to these three words

“Yes, it says that there will be a banquet tonight, and invites s has occurred in the Soaring Dragon household”

“Joyous event?” Eastern Lu’s expression becadohts he should have absolute control over all in the capital

But what event of great happiness had occurred in the Soaring Dragon household? Eastern Lu had no clue

Of course, the duke of Soaring Dragon would have never invited the king to the banquet Firstly, dukes did not command such respect, and secondly, custom laid down by the forefathers did not permit such an act

“He didn’t elaborate in the invitation, and only said that it had so Juxue Can it be that Long Juxue has had soh on her path of martial dao?”

Eastern Lu actually didn’t mind if it was truly such a sht as well attend since you’ve been invited This duke of Soaring Dragon, heh heh”

Gouyu’s expression was also a bit complicated, and she understood her royal brother’s reservations towards the duke of Soaring Dragon He was the first duke under heaven, and of preeminent position and power His influence alon manor was located in the southeast district of the capital Its location was superior with prosperous streets andHan manor was absolutely incoh it was called the Soaring Dragonsite for when the duke was in the capital Each duke’s true manor was still situated in their respective territories

Jiang Feng hada banquet, but had been vetoed by Jiang Chen Since they were sure to declare a feud, why bother? Just bring soon household could accept them if it wished

Besides, it was a sure bet that this invitation did not care for gifts carried in by hand What the duke of Soaring Dragon wanted was the Jiang Han parcel of land that contained the spirit vein, and to cut off the largest source of inco Han duchy

To seize so Chen clearly understood that thisChen plodded out of the secret training room when it was dusk In his words, they would be subjected to cold looks even if they arrived early, so why not wait until everyone was present?

Jiang Feng thought this estion

Most of the invited guests had already arrived when the father son duo had arrived at the Soaring Dragon manor

The scene in front of hi Chen’s expectations Whether by previous accord or coincidence, several dukes had foron duchy and purposefully snubbed the father son duo

It was a good thing that Jiang Feng usually conducted hiood manner and had made a few friends with so

So things were not too ugly

“Old brother Jiang, this duke has been pining an eternity for your arrival You are finally here!” A hearty laugh suddenly sounded from the front, and awith large steps

This y of a tiger A doesture He was the duke of Soaring Dragon, Long Zhaofeng

“This is toois too polite”

“Couest today, and h table”

It was not easy to obtain a seat at the high table A household such as a duchy’s was h the duke of Jiang Han’s position was good, it was not good enough to warrant a seat at the high table

“How can I accept this? Brother Long please continue to go about your business, I will sit with this band of brothers” Jiang Feng still wished to sit with his crew of brothers

However, he had apparently underestiuest has to follow his host’s wishes Old brother Jianghad an air of I-will-not-rest-until-you-sit-at-the-high-table
