Good Fortune Martial Emperor

Chapter 37 Gathering Intelligence
Yanbo Tower, a restaurant in the bustling section of Junlin City, the area is not big, the decoration is not luxurious, but it is full of people and very lively.

Ye Feng and Mu Chen sat by the window, ordered a few dishes to accompany the wine, and each held a jug of spirits to drink.

Ye Feng's face was already flushed, obviously he drank a lot.

"Master, we still have a lot to do, it's not good to be drunk." After Ye Feng finished speaking, he burped.

Mu Chen still drank quietly, his expression was as usual, as if the strong alcohol could not affect him in the slightest.

"Drinking is also a kind of practice, you boy is still far behind."

Mu Chen kept talking, but his eyes often looked elsewhere, secretly concerned about every move around him.

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, just in time to see Mu Chen looking towards a table of four people diagonally behind him.

The four of them looked like sergeants, they ordered a table full of fish and meat, and talked as if no one else was around.

"Do you know, it is said that Princess Chu Weiwei will attend the Yuntian Banquet tomorrow night. It would be great if I could also attend."

"It's up to you. Forget it. The Yuntian Banquet is a banquet hosted by the King of Chu for young heroes. Those who are qualified to attend are not the best of the younger generation."

"That's right, the geniuses who can participate in the Yuntian Banquet are almost all the seed players of the Hidden Dragon Club."

Seeing that Mu Chen was listening seriously, Ye Feng seemed to understand his intention of bringing him here.

"Master, exercising alcohol intake is fake, but collecting information is real, right?"

"You boy is not stupid."

"What exactly is the Yuntian Banquet they are talking about?"

"It's just a method used by the King of Chu to recruit talents. There are many powerful forces in the state of Chu, and all major families have talents that they focus on cultivating. The purpose of the Yuntian Banquet is to gather this group of talents together to see if there are any." What an extraordinary person."

The Qianlong Club pays attention from all directions, and any genius who has a brilliant performance in the Qianlong Club will become the target of the major forces scrambling to snatch it, and the Chu family must hope to have the best geniuses under their command, so Yuntian is here. feast.

Every time the Yuntian Banquet, the King of Chu would personally attend it. If he was favored by him, he would most likely be called into the palace. In this way, he could avoid competing with other aristocratic families at the Qianlong Festival and weaken the royal family's demeanor.

"Speaking of which, this year's Qianlong Association is really full of talents. The son of the national teacher, Sima Changkong, and Yan Hui from the General's Mansion are all participating. How can others compete for it?"

"I don't know if you have noticed that many geniuses have appeared in King's Landing City recently. It seems that forces from all over the world have come one after another. Tomorrow's Yuntian Banquet will probably be very lively."

"By the way, aren't you the guard of the Ling family? I heard that your young master will also attend the Yuntian Banquet?"

A man laughed loudly, drank a bowl of wine, and said, "That's right, my young master Ling Ao is only 19 years old, and he has already reached the first stage of the Spirit Wheel. Looking at King's Landing City, he can also be ranked in the top ten."

Speaking of this, his eyes were still full of pride, as if it was not his young master but himself who was going to participate in the Yuntian Banquet.

"A member of the Ling family?" Hearing Ling Ao's name, Ye Feng thought of that arrogant young man in Sifang Chess Club.

Mu Chen said to Ye Feng: "The head of the Ling family is a high-ranking official in the court and one of Sima Ce's confidantes."

"No wonder he is so arrogant."

While the master and apprentice were talking, they suddenly heard someone mention Mu Yufei's name, so they hurriedly concentrated their attention.

In another corner of the hall, someone said: "I heard that Mu Yufei, the daughter of Sword Saint Muchen, has arrived at the palace and will marry the Seventh Prince soon."

"I also heard that her appearance is no worse than that of Princess Yunyao back then, and even worse than that."

"Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes. Perhaps only such women are worthy of the wealth of the Seventh Prince."

"Speaking of which, Mu Chen's daughter got married, but there is no news of Mu Chen, it's really strange."

"What do you know, Mu Chen is no longer a sword master, and now he is just a useless person. Back then, he was defeated by the national teacher, and the national teacher was the teacher of the seventh prince. How could he have the face to attend the wedding?"

"You're right. It's really ridiculous to watch your daughter marry the enemy's student."

"Perhaps he is secretly glad that if his daughter marries the Seventh Prince, he will become the future head of the country. This is a step up to the sky."

"It is said that the General's Palace also attaches great importance to this marriage. A few days ago, General Yan Xiong personally sent Mu Yufei to the palace."

"Ever since General Yan Nantian disappeared, the General's Mansion has taken refuge in the National Teacher. Marrying Mu Yufei to the Seventh Prince this time will also strengthen their position."

"I think back then, when General Yan Nantian fought against the national division, it was so majestic. In just over ten years, the General's House has to rely on the enemy's breath. It's really depraved."

"There is no way to do this. He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

Mu Chen held the wine glass tightly with his hand, and suddenly took a sip of the strong wine, even though his heart was full of emotion, it only turned into a long sigh in the end.

"It's almost done, Feng'er, let's go."

Ye Feng was also unhappy, although he heard the news about Mu Yufei, the enemy they had to face was stronger than expected.

"I didn't expect that it was Yan Xiong's turn to make decisions in the General's Mansion." After walking out of the restaurant, Mu Chen looked a little disappointed.

If there is any power for his master and apprentice to rely on, then only the General's Mansion is left, but now it is learned that they have joined Sima Ce's command.

In this way, if they want to save people, they may only rely on their own strength, but that hope is so slim.

"Master, tomorrow night, I will go to the Yuntian Banquet." Suddenly, Ye Feng said firmly.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Feng in surprise, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Since we have no foreign aid, we can rely on ourselves. I think my talent is enough to impress Chu Qianfeng. Now that the imperial decree has not been issued, if I offer to exchange Yufei for my loyalty, I think he will agree. .”

"This can't be done, it's too dangerous."

"Master, we have no other choice, don't we?" Ye Feng said, "Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times. They only have power and interests in their eyes. Using someone else's daughter in exchange for a promising genius is a deal. But it’s a sure bet.”

"Having said that, you forgot that Sima Ce ordered you to be killed. If you go to Yuntian Banquet rashly, wouldn't you be in a trap?"

"Sima Ce is not Chu Qianfeng after all, isn't he? Now that even the General's House has taken refuge in Sima Ce, Chu Qianfeng has no cards to check and balance him, so he needs to cultivate a person who has both potential and loyalty. "

Mu Chen looked at Ye Feng in surprise, he didn't expect that at such a young age, he could see so clearly about political affairs, but he didn't know that Ye Feng was just talking nonsense, he just wanted to do his best.

As Ye Feng said before, they have no other choice.

"But, if your plan is successful, wouldn't you want to work for Chu Qianfeng?"

"Master, there are some things I have to do, at least rescue Yufei first."

Looking at Ye Feng's firm gaze, Mu Chen knew that it was useless to continue persuading him. Who was not young and frivolous, and he was able to be with Yan Yunyao back then because he had experienced difficulties and obstacles.

"Since that's the case, you can go. Remember, if you die inside, I will enter the palace. I won't return to King's Landing City for more than ten years. I'm afraid many people have forgotten that my temper is not good."

Ye Feng's firmness also awakened the blood in Mu Chen's heart. Mu Chen, the sword master back then, only acted according to his own preferences, regardless of the consequences, and killed decisive people.

The meaning behind the name of the Juggernaut is not a handsome young man in white clothes, but an unrivaled and fierce reputation that has been piled up from countless corpses and blood.
