The Hall of Mirrors is of course not the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles in Xia Jie's previous life, but an extremely luxurious and almost irrational palace built by Grand Duke Bailu who spent 30% of his ancestral wealth and used a lot of manpower and material resources. Hall of Mirrors. The hall, which is fifteen feet wide and nearly a hundred feet long, is paved with gold bricks. Dozens of huge crystal chandeliers are hung on the tall dome. The surrounding walls are decorated with large mirrors specially made by Hairen. Countless mythological stories and pictures of flowers are carved, which are exquisite.
These large mirrors reflect the light of the crystal chandeliers, and the patterns on the mirrors refract the light randomly, outlining colorful light patterns in the hall, making the hall full of illusory beauty like a fairyland. There are several round pillars in the hall, and the pillars are carved into the shape of beautiful women. Beauty is not rare, and beautiful beauties are not uncommon. However, the material of this pillar is the highest quality raw jade. The azure jade block continuously exudes abundant spiritual energy, which makes Xing Tian Dafeng, who moves stiffly, dumbfounded.
Grand Duke Bailu¡¯s banquet was held in the castle with the Hall of Mirrors as its core. In order to welcome the new conqueror, Grand Duke Bailu spent a lot of effort and finally selected the candidates for tonight's banquet. There is only one requirement for the selected nobles, they must be handsome men and beautiful women. Beauty, you can imagine why. As for handsome men, Grand Duke Bai Lu considered that some of the great witches in Daxia might be interested in men, so he specially prepared this move. All the noble men and women attending the banquet had the same consciousness - in order to preserve their family's power, status, wealth and life, they would do whatever it took!
At the beginning of the banquet, the nobles attending the banquet were all worried. They had only heard about the barbarism and cruelty of the Daxia army from the propaganda machine of the Hai people, but they had never had a close contact with the great witch of Daxia. But after the banquet started, Xia Jie shocked them greatly - his polite behavior, graceful and generous speech, and social etiquette that were more standard and implicit than those of their aristocratic family for thousands of years, made this group of nobles simply think that they He is a country bumpkin and he is looking up to a real nobleman.
Looking at the deep admiration and awe in the eyes of the men and women around him, Xia Jie just felt funny in his heart - the Western upper-class etiquette training provided by the Secret Service in his previous life was very effective!
Holding the crystal wine glass and occasionally sipping the mellow wine in the glass, Xia Jie chatted with these nobles with ease, talking about the good weather today and whether grouse wings or trout jelly are more delicious. , what kind of fragrance on a woman is more attractive to men and other boring topics. Everything is under Xia Jie's control. This is an instinct that does not need to be learned. The social instinct brought by his previous life has been integrated into the instinct in Xia Jie's heart. He acted like a real king, attracting the attention of most of the nobles in the Hall of Mirrors.
The fat Grand Duke Bailu smiled and followed Xia Jie diligently. Seeing Xia Jie behave so elegantly and in line with their aristocratic etiquette, Grand Duke Bai Lu was very happy, very happy. He told himself in his heart: "Well, our life will be very easy! This is a real gentleman, a real nobleman! Oh, between gentlemen and gentlemen, it is easy to talk about any problem! It's just, it's so strange, the same They are people from that primitive tribe in the East. Why do Mr. Governor and his generals behave so differently?"
The so-called difference in performance lies in Xingtian Dafeng.
Xingtian Dafeng and Chi Ming were dancing a weird court dance in groups of four with two pretty aristocratic girls. A very popular and noble dance in Bailu Gongguo and even within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles in the central region, and is regarded as an indispensable dance for nobles to communicate.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As a great shaman of the pure wind attribute, Akamuku, whose movements were nimble and agile, and although unfamiliar, he could keep up with the pace of the two girls, and danced well.
But for Xingtian Dafeng, this is simply torture! He Xingtian Dafeng, an elite disciple selected and cultivated by the dignified Xingtian clan of Daxia, always sat upright and watched the maids singing and dancing at the banquets of Daxia Kingdom. Even if you occasionally get spare money or blackmail someone who has taken advantage of you, you go to Xifang to have a good time. In a state of debauchery, you get entangled with the dancers for a while, but you still have to do everything. How can you get in and sing and dance with those dancers?
Therefore, facing this palace dance, Xingtian Dafeng was as stiff as a zombie, clumsily moving his naked legs under the guidance of Chi Ming and the two girls, and 'trudging' with great difficulty. The two pretty girls looked at Xing Tian Dafeng with smiles and gentle and affectionate eyes, but the tears in the corners of their eyes almost stopped flowing down - Xing Tian Dafeng had stepped on their toes dozens of times, and the pain was so painful that they almost wanted to Cried out.
Suddenly, the band in the corner of the Hall of Mirrors suddenly sped up the musicRhythm, this dance has reached the final stage, and the pace of dancing has accelerated several times. It is the time when the dance partners show off their most superb dance steps and most charming postures. The two girls and Chi Ming all sped up their rotations and changes at the same time, and Xingtian Dafeng was involuntarily drawn into this small whirlpool.
"Ah~~~ah~~~", two sharp howls, the two pretty girls fell to the ground with howls, holding their dislocated ankles and crying at the top of their lungs. Xingtian Dafeng was in a hurry and stomped on the ground with two feet, right on the insteps of the two girls. Poor Xingtian Dafeng had regained the strength on his feet in time, but after all, the body of the great witch was incomparable to the body of an ordinary person. No matter how fast Xingtian Dafeng closed up, he could still crush the ankles of the two unlucky girls. Dislocated.
The originally pink and tender faces turned livid, and the two pampered aristocratic girls who had never suffered much were crying until their faces were colorful, and the makeup on their faces was a mess.
Chi Ming held his belly and laughed wildly, and rushed out of the Hall of Mirrors without loyalty, leaving this extremely embarrassing situation to Xing Tian Dafeng. Dozens of Xia Jie's barbarian generals in the Hall of Mirrors stood aside and laughed loudly, 'hehehehe', obviously taking this as a very funny thing.
Xingtian Dafeng squatted down with a gloomy face, slapped the ankles of the two girls with two palms, connected their bones and joints, and ran out of the crowd of onlookers in a dejected manner. It was so embarrassing. Xingtian Dafeng was just extremely glad that his gang of gangsters in Anyi City were not present. Otherwise, how could he lose face? He is the only one in the world who can seriously injure his partner while dancing.
Xia Jie stood aside and watched in amusement. When he saw Xing Tian Dafeng could not help but run out, he just shook his head and carefully looked at the barbarian generals who were watching. He saw a wisp of green energy faintly floating between their eyebrows, and then he completely I feel relieved.
After all, it was Xingtian Dafeng and the others who took Pan Geng's royal order and went to the barbarian country to gather the barbarian army. Qixin, who stayed in Liwu Palace to deal with some initial and final matters, was afraid that these barbarians would not listen to Xia Jie's orders, so she secretly married Xia Jie. Hundreds of kilograms of witch medicine 'Xue Yin' that controls people's minds. Xia Jie's essence and blood were dripped into these witchcraft medicine. After being taken for thirty-six days, the person who took the witchcraft medicine would obey the orders of the person who provided the essence and blood. This is the most insidious and most traceless way to control people's minds. A method to follow.
After Xia Jie became the body of chaos, he went to Chiyou Mountain City to find Xingtian Dafeng. He led a group of five million barbarians to the central territory. Along the way, he added 'bloody lead' to the meals for these barbarians. A few days before I arrived, it happened to be the thirty-sixth day. Xia Jie saw the ray of green energy between the eyebrows of these barbarian generals today, and knew that they were completely under his control, and he no longer had to worry about something like Jin Gang happening.
"Pangeng, it's miserable. I wonder how Lu Gui will deal with him? Well, in a few days, there should be news from Anyi City?"
He picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Duke Bailu next to him, and drank the mellow wine in one gulp. Just as Xia Jie was about to walk out of the lively and noisy hall of mirrors to stroll in the garden outside, a tall man wearing silver light armor The handsome man strode towards him.
This handsome man is extremely tall, a head taller than an ordinary person, and only a punch shorter than those barbarian generals. However, when Xia Jie obtained the body of chaos through Tianlei's body refining, his figure suddenly grew taller and he was much taller than before. Therefore, this man was still much shorter than Xia Jie, and he could only look up. Xia Jie.
However, although he was looking up to Xia Jie, the proud expression on his face was as if Xia Jie was crawling in front of him and looking up to him. This man had been hiding in a corner of the Hall of Mirrors since the beginning of the banquet, discussing something unknown with a few fat-headed nobles. Xia Jie just glanced at him because his strength was too great. He was weak and posed no threat to himself, so Xia Jie didn't pay attention to him. Now seeing him striding up to him with a serious and extremely arrogant look on his face, Xia Jie was confused and didn't know what he wanted to do.
"You, Xia Jie?" The man looked at Xia Jie for a while, and finally asked proudly.
"Um, who are you?" Bai on Xia Jie's shoulder was about to use his claws to blind the man's eyes, but was stopped by Xia Jie. Harmony and stability are the only requirements that the big guys in Anyi City have for their new governors. Before Daxia completely controls the original territory of the Hai people, everyone does not want to cause too much trouble. Therefore, Xia Jie couldn't let Bai hurt people randomly, especially when he didn't know who this person was and what power was behind him.
The man gently patted the sharp sword on his waist, suddenly pulled off his gloves, and hit Xia Jie hard on the face.
¡°Oh~~~¡±, the male and female nobles in the Hall of Mirrors said at the same timeHe let out an exclamation, and some of the delicate young ladies screamed, looked up to the sky and fainted. Behind them stood a few barbarian generals with simple and honest faces. These generals smiled "hehe" and supported the young ladies diligently, but their big hands were already rubbing and squeezing them, satisfying their addiction.
"Sneeze!" Xia Jie sneezed violently, sending the glove that hit his face flying several feet away. "Damn it!" Xia Jie rubbed his nose. He was very annoyed. The man's gloves were scented with incense. The pungent aroma made Xia Jie's nose a little allergic and he couldn't help but sneeze.
"Well, you, do you want to duel with me?" Xia Jie murmured angrily, looking at the young man in surprise: "Don't you know that you can't be my opponent?"
"I, Allen! Allen? Bailu!" The man announced his name: "Duel, yes, duel. Are you very powerful? I don't think so. I have seen many nobles like you, but I didn't see you during the war. After the war is over, nobles like you will serve as governors, generals, and other official positions. This is your nature, isn't it?"
Allen Bai Lu looked at Xia Jie proudly: "I have killed five hundred and seventy soldiers of your Daxia! Do you know? Five hundred and seventy of your soldiers of Daxia were killed by me!"
Raising his index finger and stabbing Xia Jie in the heart, Allen Bailu sneered: "Accept my challenge, you are the 571st."
?????????Can such a weak person kill 570 Daxia soldiers? Judging from his age, he had at most participated in the last Western Expedition and this Battle of Doomsday Fortress. During the Western Expedition, Daxia was advancing with great success, and the Hairen were defeated so badly that they had almost no power to fight back. Only after the Doomsday Fortress rose into the sky, Daxia's army in the Sea People's territory retreated all the way, or in other words, was defeated and retreated to Daxia.
However, even so, how could such a weak person, probably equivalent to a fourth- or fifth-level shaman at most, kill 570 Daxia soldiers?
Xia Jie asked him in surprise: "Are you sure those you killed were our Daxia soldiers?"
Allen Bailu raised his head proudly: "Aren't the people wearing black light armor, with good weapons on their hands, and the wheel badge on their chests your soldiers?"
Xing Tian Dafeng and Chi Ming, who had just slipped back into the Hall of Mirrors, laughed at the same time. Wearing black light armor with a wheel badge on the chest, they are Daxia's supply troops. They are all ordinary civilians or slaves. The most powerful among these people are only at the level of first-class witchcraft and are no stronger than ordinary people. How much, with Allen Bailu's strength, it would be easy to kill more than five hundred heavy troops while Daxia's army was retreating, because Daxia's elite troops would not care about the losses of these civilians and slaves. .
Allen Bai Lu was so angry that his face turned purple. He pointed at Xing Tian Dafeng and Chi Shu and shouted angrily: "Why are you laughing? I will fight you too! If I win, you must swear that you will never set foot in the Bai Lu Principality! I, Bai Lu, The principality will become an independent country, do you dare to duel with me?"
It is unreasonable for people to be stupid to a certain extent. Xia Jie looked at Allen Bailu in confusion. Where did his courage come from? Why does he dare to challenge himself? Just relying on his glorious record? That's ridiculous! Judging from his surname, he should be from the royal family of the Bailu Principality. Are the people in the royal family just as stupid as the people he knew in his previous life?
The fat Duke Bai Lu was so anxious that his whole body was trembling. He pointed at Allen Bai Lu and screamed: "You, what are you doing? Do you dare to speak to the governor like this? You, you"
Grand Duke Bailu fiercely protected Xia Jie's right arm and said almost pleadingly: "Dear Governor, Allen is joking. You have to know that a warrior like you is so powerful, how could Allen kill him?" Where are the more than five hundred warriors like you? Come, take Allen back, and he will not be allowed to leave the house within a year!"
Several guards of Grand Duke Bai Lu separated from the crowd and walked towards Allen Bai Lu.
Xia Jie glanced at Allen Bai Lu, frowned and said, "Grand Duke Bai Lu, is he your son?"
Grand Duke Bailu bowed humbly and said: "My only son. He is the only heir to my principality." He raised his head carefully and bravely said: "You have to know, even if the Kingdom of Atlantis rules us, At that time, our Bailu Principality and other countries all maintained a certain degree of autonomy. Heir"
"The heir is very precious to you. I understand this. We in Great Xia have no intention of killing you all, so I will not kill your son." Xia Jie shook his head. He understood Grand Duke Bailu's worries. Therefore, he gave him a few words of comfort, although even he himself didn't quite believe his words of comfort. Daxia will be in the near futureThey will kill all these nobles because Daxia cannot digest this territory for the time being. When Daxia has made all preparations, these nobles will either surrender and accept their fate or be killed. Except for lords of small countries like Ai Wei who have support behind them, other nobles may not be able to enjoy the same privileges as during the rule of Hairen. .
Xia Jie was already very careful to take care of Grand Duke Bai Lu's emotions, but Alan Bai Lu didn't know what medicine he took wrongly. He pointed at Xia Jie and screamed: "Kill us all? Wrong! Stupid guys, you guys have no idea. We have no idea how powerful we are! I challenge you, are you going to run away from a duel like a coward?"
Allen Bailu slapped Xia Jie on the face. Because of his height, his body jumped up and he could use all his strength to hit Xia Jie.
Xia Jie glared at Alan Bai Lu angrily, raised his right foot, and kicked Alan Bai Lu hard in the abdomen.
