Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 152: The covenant has been made, and peace and prosperity are in the air!
[Night slowly falls, the stars appear, and midnight quietly approaches. ]

[In Yuezhou, when everything was silent, only the endless stream of torches could be seen, like a long dragon, tightly surrounding the Gaoque Tower.]

[Tuoba Hongyan was not sleepy either, staring at the glorious long dragon formed by torches outside.]

[This matter is of great importance and is directly related to the rise and fall of Beifeng. ]

[Gao Wenxiao, although usually arrogant, was also serious at this moment.]

[He is well aware of the power struggles among the four countries. Any rash action may trigger a chain reaction and bring about immeasurable consequences.]

[This King of Yan now has a very important power. 】

[Chongyuan City is covered by a thick haze tonight. ]

【Difficult to fall asleep!】

[The same goes for the soldiers in the city. If they cannot reach a consensus tonight, tomorrow they will be greeted by the surging arrival of 300,000 cavalrymen from Yanbei, which will be enough to shake the mountains and rivers.]

[Although the smoke of the war of the past fifteen years has long gone, its traces are deeply engraved in the hearts of every soldier who experienced that war. ]

[They tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, their dreams filled with tragic scenes of iron horses, golden swords, and countless battle bones.]

[No one wants to do it again!]

[In the lobby on the first floor, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Tuoba Hongyan's face. ]

[He sat there, his eyes occasionally glancing at the second floor, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.]

【Gao Wenxiao simply sat down, hiding his face under the dim light.】

[At this moment, in the wing room on the second floor, the atmosphere is tense and solemn.]

【Everyone's eyes converge on you. 】

【You smiled and said:】

[“I, Lu Chen, agree on behalf of the Northland!”]

[As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire room was lifted.]

[Under Wu Ying's face, which was covered by the ghost mask, his eyes sparkled with a smile. ]

[After hearing this, Gu Yi immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Lu Chen, and said sincerely: "Gu Yi, thank you, King Yan! Such a broad mind is truly admired by the world."]

Gongsun Pingxi also restrained his previous expression, stood up and praised: "The King of Yan's move is admirable!"

【Yuwen Yan regained his noble demeanor. 】

[Gongsun Zhongshu's frown also relaxed.]

【With your opening words, everything is settled. 】

[The prelude of the banquet slowly opened with Gu Yi's gentle clapping of his hands.]

[The tightly closed side doors quietly slid open, as if time was gently torn apart at this moment, and the boundaries between the wing rooms disappeared without a trace, turning into a spacious, bright, and unobstructed hall.]

[The music suddenly starts, melodious and cheerful! ]

【Sweep away the solemnity just now. 】

[A group of dancers in gorgeous costumes walked in gracefully, their postures were graceful and their voices were charming.]

[Tuoba Shuyi held a cup of wine, smiling, and said loudly: "This wine is specially poured for the King of Yan!"]

[Before he finished speaking, Yuwen Yan also echoed: "We should respect the King of Yan!"]

[On the second floor, a clear and pleasant sound of music suddenly sounded. ]

[When Tuoba Hongyan heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He knew that the music represented the King of Yan's agreement to establish the alliance between the four countries in Yanbei.]

【Gao Wenxiao stood by and smiled.】

【The music of Gaoque Tower!】

[The news spread quickly, and Chongyuan City, which had been silent in the middle of the night, was now completely dark.]

【Suddenly!】

【In the darkness, lights begin to light up. 】

[Soon, every household in Chongyuan City hung up red lanterns.]

[There are fast horses from the Cavalry Battalion passing through the city, shouting:]

[“Your Majesty has ordered that there should be no curfew tonight.”] [Instantly, the scene in the city changed suddenly!]

[In addition to the heavily guarded Gaoque Tower, several restaurants in the city also lit up their lights and welcomed an endless stream of guests. ]

【All buffets tonight are free. 】

【Just now at midnight!】

【The night market then became lively and bustling. 】

[Tuoba Hongyan walked out of Gaoque Tower and was in this lively scene, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. ]

[He recalled the scene when the Lu family army retreated. The Huanglong Mansion in Beifeng was also like this, with the people cheering in the streets.]

[When the world prospers, the people are never the ones who benefit, but the people are the ones who feel the most.]

【The world has long wanted peace. 】

[The prosperous times that the people all long for are about to come. 】

[Tuoba Hongyan also picked up a pot of wine and said to the night sky and the lights of Chongyuan City:]

[“This wine is for Shao Bao!”]

[Although the title of King of Yan is noble, it is far less familiar than the word "Shao Bao". ]

[On the second floor, the lights are dim, and there is singing and dancing. ]

[The dancing postures of the North Wind women are unique and full of charm. They spin and jump lightly, and each movement reveals the unique beauty of the North, which is very different from the customs of other countries and adds a different style to this banquet. ]

[Yuwen Yan was even more delighted to see this. He was a refined man and had an indescribable love for singing and dancing.]

[At this moment, he admired the graceful figure of the dancer while playing the huqin. The melodious sound of the huqin intertwined with the dancer's singing.]

[Gongsun Pingxi didn't care about his image and started to eat the roast duck on the table, his mouth full of oil.]

[Gongsun Zhongshu saw this and his originally relieved expression turned ugly again.]

[The singing, dancing and drinking continued, but no one was drinking heavily, and everyone had a different expression.]

【Tuoba Shuyi leaned back in the chair with a slight sense of ease.】

【Gu Yi and others start to use their chopsticks!】

[Yuwen Yan began to drink and play the zither, and his demeanor made the dancers fall in love with him. Although they did not know the true identity of this noble man, the romantic and suave aura that emanated from his bones was enough to sway their hearts.]

【However!】

[Among the group of dancers, the leading dancer seemed particularly sober.]

[She knew very well that all the guests tonight were extraordinary people, and each of them could be a powerful leader who could decide the fate of the world.]

[The head dancer, as the best dancer, her dancing posture is naturally the most outstanding. ]

[What she was most curious about was Empress Wu Ying. As a woman ascending the throne, she was revered by women all over the world.]

[In addition, there is this Lu Chen. 】

[As the lights dimmed and the singing and dancing flourished, the leader's gaze involuntarily passed through the hustle and bustle of the crowd and fell on a middle-aged man at the table.]

[This is the "Young Master" of the Lu Family Army, who is said by the outside world to be able to make the North Wind area tremble with fear. 】

[At this moment, he raised his head slightly, and his eyes swept over the dancers gently, without any sense of majesty or oppression.]

[The dance leader couldn't help but feel a little confused, or even shocked.]

[After all, in the mouths of the common people in the North, Lu Chen was portrayed as a demon on earth, a cold-blooded, ruthless, and terrifying existence. ]

【But what she saw with her own eyes was completely different from what she had heard.】

[She has seen countless people and is already very familiar with understanding people's hearts.]

[Whether it is the arrogance of the royal nobles or the cunning of the common people, she can see through it at a glance. ]

[However, Lu Chen's eyes made her feel unprecedentedly unpredictable. ]

[The eyes are bright and deep, as if they can see into people's hearts. ]

[He looked at everyone with equal eyes, whether they were distinguished guests or humble dancers.]

【No difference!】
