The Lord who use immortals as food

This kind of scaly creature always has a sense of monster, but the white snake in front of me only has a kind of gentle holiness, with flawless white scales, swimming in the Sanskrit sound, and its huge body ran over the railings without causing any damage.

This snake body actually has an indescribable lightness.

Xu Menglang also fell silent for the time being, and the voices on the entire floor dropped slightly.

"I heard that Miss Cui likes swordsman geniuses. I think you are very good at using the sword." Seeing the snake head crossing their level, Xu Menglang turned his head and looked at the young man and smiled, "Then maybe you can really use the sword later." Give it a try. In a place like this today, any one more person who remembers us is a rare and precious opportunity."

Xu Menglang lowered his head and poured a cup of tea for him: "It's a pity that although I also prepared poems, today I can only serve as a foil."

Pei Ye took the teacup: "Are there any great poets?"

Xu Menglang looked at the opposite side and sighed softly.

Pei Ye followed his gaze and found it was the chicken-faced man who gave him a gentle and sickly feeling.

"The poems in the past year have shocked the capital, and the nobles in the autumn are famous." Xu Menglang said softly, "This person also came to the banquet...hehe."

He lowered his head and remained silent without speaking.

Pei Ye looked at him quietly, and he could see that this scholar was really twisting his heart into a ball, and he was definitely not like Zhou Shise who didn't care about "I won't draw my sword today."

As he said, he gave up his dignity and worked hard to get here, waiting hard for the opportunity to step into the gorgeous lights in front of him.

However, everything here is out of his control, or there is no chance for him to offer poems, or he is ignored by the nobles inadvertently, or... he is easily covered by other people's talents.

The opportunity to pray is gone.

He always tried his best to chat with the young man without losing his grace, and he was really treating people like a courtier.

Pei Ye patted him gently and said no more. In this luxurious and elegant upstairs, they were indeed the only two people of humble origins sitting cross-legged together.

"Hahahaha, after all, how can I really kill someone's precious land..." A burst of unrestrained laughter came from the corridor next to it, and three or five people walked out of it together.

Pei Ye turned her head to look, and saw a familiar figure - an exaggerated and colorful monkey mask on her face, a barbarian-style hairstyle draped behind her head, silk boots, jade belts, and luxurious clothes casually dragged on the ground. The other hand holds a thin jade staff and picks up a delicate little red snake.

"It's really fun. I asked him to compose a poem in seven steps, but if he took one step slowly, he would bite the girl in the face. As a result, he was such a stupid genius. He could only cry back and forth, and his poems didn't show any face at all!" The man laughed. He smiled, tilted his head and said to the person next to him, "It's time for your country to get some real talents. I think a few of them are just doing nothing, but they are just better born."

Another person laughed: "There are many here who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. How much better would it be? Can I get you a few Jinshi? There seem to be a few young and good-looking ones this year."

"Those girls with five surnames like to play Jinshi, and I don't want Mr. Rabbit." Monkey Face waved his jade staff and said in a leisurely voice, "Yu still loves female heroes."

Three or five people staggered over, Pei Ye turned around, and Xu Menglang stared at the ground with a stiff face.

"Is the place they were talking about 'Huan Pavilion'?" Pei Ye touched him.

"..." After a long time, Xu Menglang rubbed his face with both hands, sighed, shook his head and whispered, "I don't know either."

He was silent for a moment and smiled: "Mr. Pei, you don't think I am qualified to come to this place for the second time." "Okay." He stood up, "It seems that the chat over there is about to end, I will go first."

So I left a little tired.

Pei Ye looked over to Lu Xiu. The two were still talking, but she didn't know what detail the man had caught.

"All the happiness a person can get from another person can be found there, and that is the 'Happiness Pavilion'." The young master in black clothes and a tiger face didn't know when he was leaning on the railing in front, looking up at the white snake. The upward body said, "Today you can watch the prince pass on Haotian's wishes, why don't you come and take a look?"

Pei Ye was startled for a moment, then walked over with his sword in hand.

"It's a bit ridiculous, isn't it?" The mysterious clothes on this man's body were as simple as the tiger face on his face, and his voice sounded about the same age as him.

"...a little bit."

"What happened in the fantasy building is actually nothing - feeding people for fun is all left over from the previous dynasty. As for treating the selected talents as playthings, it is mostly due to the lust and blood of young men and women, and it is harmful to thousands of people. A hundred people are just a drop in the bucket.”

Mr. Xuanyi seemed to smile: "For the masters of the Tang Dynasty, this is just something to have fun with after dinner. After all, when you invite people here, even if an honored guest is a little bored or has a lower body, you have to provide the necessary services." Some comfort.”

"Who is the master of the Tang Dynasty?" Pei Ye said calmly.

"You have been in Shenjing for a while, so you should have seen some ridiculous things."

"Nanya," Pei Ye said, "I remember we checked the Carp Museum and the Taiping Cao Gang. The evidence was clear and the clues were clear. Mr. Di was a fourth-grade official. He was first forced out of Dali Temple, and then was blocked by Jingzhao Mansion. Later, he was on the street. The case was impeached by ten nobles, and documents were issued and poisons were administered. Even after the case was completed, no troops could be mobilized. A powerful general was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground..."

"Yes, isn't this situation much more terrible than playing with a few people?" The young man in black sighed lightly, and his voice suddenly became indifferent. "Let me tell you, if the court has ten points, six points belong to Wang and three points belong to Li; the Lu family controls half of Confucianism in Shenjing, and is the two uncrowned emperors in the north. All political orders cannot be carried out without the approval of the Lu family; the Li family is in the west, and the origin of the two military governors of Shaolong and Xilong is reserved, and the scale of their private army is unknown now; Zheng family is in the south, and half of all rice and millet economy is shared with the country, first passed through Zheng's hands, and then into the national treasury. Only the Cui family has not entered the capital for more than 20 years, and their power is gradually released, but they hold the "Taigong Jinkui" in their hands, and I don't know what they are thinking."

"..."

"Isn't this more absurd than what you saw in the South Court?" The young man in black looked at him with a smile.

"..."

This really made Pei Ye speechless for a while.

Even though he was not familiar with politics, he could tell that each of these crimes was a crime worthy of extermination. Now, for the first time, he faced the so-called "Five Family Names" so directly. They were so deeply rooted in the land of the Tang Dynasty. They were not a tumor hiding somewhere waiting to be removed, but were so deeply intertwined with the lifeblood of the country.

So it was even more difficult for him to understand... why?

For thirty years, the Tang Dynasty has been on the road to prosperity. In many aspects, the current saint is a heroic ruler even if he is not a wise ruler.

"I said it long ago, because they are the masters of the Tang Dynasty, not parasitic insects. What should you worry about when you play with flowers, plants, insects and ants in your own yard?" The young man in black clothes said indifferently.

"I think Xu Chuo hasn't told you yet - what lives in the depths of the imperial city?"
