Douluo Promise

Chapter 123

The setting sun is like blood, the sky is almost dusk, but the Blackthorn Duke's Mansion is becoming more and more lively.

Cars and horses came one after another to entertain the old Duke's distinguished guests. The old Duke alone could no longer take care of all the guests.

Fortunately, the old Duke's son Leda-Yu He came back early and was busy arranging things, greeting people from the Duke's Palace to arrange these guests.

Even Zhao Wuji's father and mother were dragged by his uncle to greet the guests, which showed that there were so many people coming to celebrate the birthday of the old Duke of Keshen.

Although the Duke's Palace was very lively at this time, Zhao Wuji, who was only six years old, obviously couldn't help much.

And everyone came to congratulate the old Duke of Keshen on his birthday, most of them were high-ranking officials of the current dynasty or received some big rewards.

Zhao Wuji thought that he had nothing to talk about with these people, so after the old Duke left, he practiced swordplay here alone.

Although Zhao Wuji did not want to have any contact with others, someone still came to find Zhao Wuji.

That was the eight-year-old Wan Zhen-Yu He, the child of uncle Leda's brother. Hearing that his cousin was here, Wan Zhen was very happy to find Zhao Wuji.

"Cousin Wuji, are you practicing the sword?" Wan Zhen came to the martial arts training ground and looked at Zhao Wuji who was wielding the sword and asked.

Zhao Wuji, who was concentrating on practicing swordsmanship, then noticed Wan Zhen and looked at this young man who was slightly taller than himself and had a tiger head and a tiger head.

Zhao Wuji knew that this should be his cheap cousin Wan Zhen-Yuhe. Although he had never met him, he should be the one who called him cousin.

"Yes, Cousin Wan Zhen." Zhao Wuji replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Cousin Wuji, a lot of people came to grandpa's birthday party today~" Wan Zhen said, walking over and holding Zhao Wuji's hand enthusiastically: "There are also a lot of delicious food, and there are several beautiful sisters. ~"

While talking, Wan Zhen laughed "hehe~" and pulled Zhao Wuji away from the training ground without any explanation.

What a good guy, he already knows how to appreciate beautiful sisters at such a young age. It seems that his cousin has a bright future~

By the way, as soon as Zhao Wuji was pulled out by Wan Zhen, he saw an imposing couple walking over with a little lolita.

"Xiao Wan Zhen, today is your grandfather's birthday party, you can't mess around." The person who spoke was the mature woman, and the smile on her face obviously recognized Wan Zhen.

When Wan Zhen saw these two people, he stopped with a smile on his face and said, "Wan Zhen has met Uncle Los and Aunt Bell. This is my cousin."

"Wan Zhen is not messing around. I want to take my cousin to play for the first time here." Wan Zhen said seriously.

"Oh?" the man said, "Are you Zhao Hongyuan's son?"

Seeing that the problem had come to him, Zhao Wuji also took a step forward: "Yes, uncle, my name is Zhao Wuji."

"You go and play, please be safe~" the man said, giving Zhao Wuji a meaningful look, then turned and left.

Zhao Wuji was confused by what he saw, but this didn't mean anything to Zhao Wuji, it was just a bad feeling in his heart.

Wan Zhen took Zhao Wuji to a backyard. At first glance, this backyard looked like an abandoned yard, with an overall feeling of desolation.

The most conspicuous thing that Zhao Wuji saw at a glance was a larger rockery. At this time, Wan Zhen had already pulled Zhao Wuji to the rockery.

"Cousin Wuji, follow me later." Wan Zhen said seriously, but there was eagerness to try in his eyes.

After seeing Zhao Wuji nod in agreement, Wan Zhen began to climb towards the top of the rockery, and the climbing speed was relatively fast. It looked like he was an expert.

Zhao Wuji looked at Wan Zhen's ape-like figure and quickly climbed to the top of the rockery.

Then he used it as a springboard and jumped up to the century-old willow tree on the other side of the courtyard wall.

He stood on the trunk of the big willow tree and saw that Zhao Wuji did not climb up as instructed, so he immediately waved to Zhao Wuji.

When Zhao Wuji saw Wan Zhen waving to him, he quickly climbed up the rockery without hesitation and jumped steadily onto the branch of the big willow tree.

Wan Zhen took Zhao Wuji's hand, pointed with one finger, and said to Zhao Wuji: "Cousin Wuji, look."

Looking in the direction of Wan Zhen's finger, he saw gorgeously dressed people heading towards the lobby of the Duke's Palace.

Zhao Wuji found that the view here was very good, allowing him to observe everyone attending the birthday banquet without being discovered.

Wan Zhen's eyes were shining at this time, pointing at the nobles' daughters and talking excitedly.

But he spoke in a very low voice, probably because he was afraid of being exposed, so Zhao Wuji basically didn't hear him clearly.

Judging from his excited expression, his Wan Zhen cousin was in an extremely happy mood at this time.

Suddenly Wan Zhen pointed at a rough-looking man and whispered into Zhao Wuji's ear.

"Cousin Wuji, that man's name is Ace. It is said that he is your mother's suitor. Grandpa even told my father not to have contact with him."

After hearing what Wan Zhen said, Zhao Wuji immediately became interested. Could it be that his mother's suitor was his father's love rival back then.

It looked like a very bullshit thing. Zhao Wuji couldn't help but look at this person carefully, trying to remember his appearance.

Zhao Wuji and Wan Zhen watched for about half an hour before heading to the lobby together.Because the dinner was about to start, and the two of them were going to be scolded if they didn't show up yet.

Soon the two of them arrived at the lobby, where many people were already seated.They quickly found their parents and were taken to the main table by their parents.

After all, it was Mr. Ke Shen's birthday party, and his family still had to sit at the head table.

Mr. Ke Shen picked up his wine glass and said loudly: "Today is my 90th birthday party. Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate me."

As he spoke, the old man raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Together!" Everyone raised their glasses in response.

Then everyone congratulated the old man on his birthday one by one. When everyone came over one by one with wine glasses.

His father and the gentle-looking uncle all had wry smiles on their faces, because he was about to stop the old man from drinking.

There are too many people present, and one cup per person is not easy to deal with.It was naturally impossible for Mr. Keshen to drink all the wine by himself, so his son and son-in-law naturally had to stop him from drinking.

While he was drinking heavily, a sharp sound came from outside.Zhao Wuji was still familiar with this sound.

That was the voice of the waiter in the palace. He only heard the waiter say: "The king and queen are here!"

Hearing this voice, Mr. Ke Shen took the lead and got up and led everyone to the door to greet him.

The arrival of the king and queen of the Kingdom of Bimax also brought the atmosphere of this birthday banquet to its peak.

However, Ace, whom Zhao Wuji had been paying attention to, had a gloomy expression. Zhao Wuji felt that this person definitely had evil intentions.
