After Xie Qingrong returned to the army camp, she locked herself in his tent. Holding a charcoal pen in her hand, she continuously modified the weapons on the blueprints until all the details were complete, then satisfied handed the blueprints over to the artisans.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Chen also secretly sent people to help Liang Qiusheng gather some strong evidence on the case of Wu Huan's dead body.
Although Liang Qiusheng was an official of the Mo Bei, he had an army stationed all year round. The power in his hands wasn't great, and he only had a few capable subordinates, so most of the capable warriors had gathered in the army camp.
Very quickly, the Chief of the Ji Family's birthday banquet was about to arrive.
The weapons that Xie Qingrong had instructed the craftsmen to forge had also been neatly packed and delivered to Xuanyuan Chen's desk, all while waiting for the time of the birthday on the invitation letter.
Nuan Xiang and the two maids who specifically served Xie Qingrong within the Duke Palace did not follow Xie Qingrong to the Mo Bei. As a result, these past few days, she had only finished dressing and dressing up of her own accord.
The Mo Bei did not look like the feet of the Son of Heaven, so Xie Qingrong's usual attire was only suitable for her own preferences, it did not really meet the required etiquette requirements.
That was the reason why the Plum Blossom Meet had ended up like that.
But at this moment, if they wanted to enter Ji Family, which was in control of the Wilderness, they couldn't be too rude. Xuanyuan Chen sent people to invite the best embroidery mother in the Mo Bei over.
After everything was settled, a carriage majestically left the Mo Bei's city gate and headed towards the Wilderness.
Xie Qingrong held onto the black scorched gold invitation card, and according to the description, she slowly walked towards the Ji Family.
Two hours later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Ji Family.
Xuanyuan Chen held Xie Qingrong's hand and walked down the carriage step by step. He saw that at the entrance of the Ji Family, there was an endless stream of guests waiting in line.
A middle-aged man dressed in the official's attire stood at the door to check the invitation card.
Just then, a servant boy came out from the door and whispered a few words into the butler's ear. The servant then passed the form to the person next to him and told him to check it carefully and not to make the slightest mistake and follow the servant into the door, disappearing without a trace.
The long line finally arrived in front of Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong. Xie Qingrong placed the black invitation card with golden edges into the servant's hands.
The moment the servant saw the black and golden-edged invitation card, his expressionless face changed, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He took the initiative to receive Xuanyuan Chen's gift, and sent someone to invite Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong into the palace.
A trace of undetectable light flashed across Xie Qingrong's eyes. It seems that the invitation Ji Rufeng gave her was of great origin.
The guests standing in line behind him also saw the black invitation, and their expressions immediately changed.
The black invitation had always been a noble guest of the Ji Family. They had an extremely close relationship with the Ji Family and had worked with him all year round.
Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong were respectfully welcomed into the hall by the servants. On the way, Xie Qingrong's eyes quickly swept across the garden and other furnishings.
Indeed, it was worthy of being called the residence of one of the six great families of the world. Even someone as low-key as the Prince Chen's Mansion was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with it.
A few guests who had already arrived in the hall looked at Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong, and were shocked by their extraordinary temperament and appearance. However, they were slightly suspicious in their hearts.
Regardless of their temperament or appearance, these two were superior to others. Thus, why had he never seen them during the birthday banquet in the past? And for the servants of Ji Family to treat them with such respect, their status must not be underestimated.
He silently observed the two people's every move.
The moment Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong entered the hall, the changes in the expressions of the guests seated there were completely captured. The smile on Xie Qingrong's face unconsciously deepened as an imposing manner that was not easy to approach appeared on her body.
She had long since noticed the change in attitude of the servant when he saw her take out the invitation card, as well as the stunned but silent observation in their eyes.
He unwittingly whispered into Xuanyuan Chen's ears: "Chen, do you feel that something is amiss?"
Xuanyuan Chen held Xie Qingrong's right hand with her left hand hanging by his side and said slowly: "I'll take a look."
It was obvious that Xuanyuan Chen had long since noticed that something was amiss, it was just that those who could come to the Chief of the Ji Family's birthday banquet were all powerful people.
He recognized more than half of the guests sitting here, but they were all aristocratic clans that had never interacted with him before. They came from various countries, and just their vast network of connections was enough to shock him.
However, although he was surprised, he did not show it on his face. He was expressionless as he sat there quietly.
After a long while, almost all of the guests also arrived and sat down according to their seats. Xuanyuan Chen realised that at the table he was at, the expressions of all the people around him were filled with respect, passion, and worship.
Her phoenix-like eyes remained calm and collected as she slightly raised her brows.
It was obvious that the guests all knew each other. They could see that the already seated guests were chatting enthusiastically. The topics of their discussions were also very elegant and interesting.
Xie Qingrong tapped her index finger on the table, as if she was thinking about something.
At that moment, a handsome middle-aged man slowly walked in from the door. He wore a purple robe that fit his muscular body. His black hair was usually tied up high, the purple jade crown was tied tightly, and the other half was casually draped over his shoulders.
With a handsome and dignified appearance, his hard and handsome face carried a touch of gentleness. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and they revealed a bit of shrewdness.
However, the most important thing was his imposing manner. It was as vast as the sea. Looking at it, it was as if he was in the middle of a vast ocean, unconsciously being drawn into it.
Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, but felt a sense of familiarity from the person's face, as well as a sense of familiarity from the body.
She frowned as if thinking of something.
Ji Cangming had arrived late, and he was holding an exquisite and delicate wine cup in his hand, as if it was a beautiful sight to behold. Standing on the main hall, the eyes of all the guests were focused on Ji Cangming.
Under this kind of gaze, his expression remained unchanged. With a smile, he saluted to the crowd from afar and said, "Today is my birthday. Thank you all for your hard work in heading to the Wilderness to celebrate my birthday. I, Ji, have arrived late due to my busy schedule. I will drink three cups of wine for myself! "
He channeled his inner force and channeled it into his voice. Immediately, a voice filled with power filled the entire hall.
His deep eyes swept across all the guests.
However, when his gaze landed on Xie Qingrong, who was sitting at the special table, he seemed to have been shocked by her extremely beautiful appearance.
