Three days later, it was a full moon night.
As the lights came on, the sounds of stringed instruments and the interweaving of lights could be heard in Zuixian Tower.
Chu Hong was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with his hair tied up with a jade crown, and was drinking with envoys from various countries with a smile on his face.
The birthday banquet of the King of Chu was exactly three days later. During this period, many small countries sent envoys to congratulate the Emperor of Chu on his birthday.
As a prince, Chu Hong was naturally responsible for receiving and entertaining these envoys.
"Everyone has come from afar. On behalf of my father, I offer a toast to you all."
His voice was clear, and his eyes were full of charm and smiles. No one could tell what he was thinking at the moment.
Amur was also present tonight. He was playing with the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes occasionally fell on Chu Hong who was not far away.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the table became more and more lively.
At this moment, Amur suddenly stood up and spoke in a loud voice, drowning out the noise in the room.
"Today, all the nations have gathered. How about we follow the ancient rituals of the Western Regions and drink blood wine together to show our brotherhood?"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all agreed.
Naturally, they were happy to honor the King of the Western Regions by being on friendly terms with him.
So the envoy from the Western Regions took the lead in cutting his finger and dripping the blood into the gilded wine jar brought by the attendant.
Seeing this, the envoys from several other small countries also followed suit with great interest.
When it was Chu Hong's turn, the corners of his mouth curled up and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"good!"
He responded loudly, took the silver needle handed to him by the servant, pricked his fingertip lightly, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and handed it to the wine jar beside him.
No one noticed that while he was doing this series of actions, Amur's eyes were fixed on his hands and he even held his breath.
Finally, Chu Hong's blood fell into the wine jar and mixed with the wine, staining it a bright red.
Just when Amur was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a ding sound.
The silver needle had been thrown into the wine jar by Chu Hong.
"Prince Rui, what's going on..." Amur narrowed his eyes.
Chu Hong wiped his fingers slowly and said, "This needle is too blunt. Let's try another method to get blood."
After saying that, he took out a dagger from his waist and slashed it directly at his palm.
Instantly, drops of blood rolled down his palm. He held his palm above the wine jar and said loudly, "Since we want to form an alliance, how can this little blood be enough?"
Amur was greatly shocked. Chu Hong's behavior seemed to indicate that he knew what he was going to do and was willing to cooperate.
This was totally beyond his expectations.
He quickly glanced at Wu Ya, who also reacted quickly. She came forward with gauze and hemostatic medicine to bandage Chu Hong.
"That's enough. If it keeps on flowing, it will hurt your body."
After Wu Ya collected the blood, she immediately and skillfully bandaged the wound on Chu Hong's hand and warned him, "Don't touch water for the next few days."
Then he bent down and left with his tools.
Chu Hong smiled and looked in Amur's direction: "It is my honor to drink blood wine with you all today. I hope that our countries will form an eternal alliance and join us in this great event!"
After saying this, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the envoys from other countries also echoed him and spoke politely to each other.
Finally, the banquet ended, and after Amur said goodbye, he hurried away and headed straight for a stronghold in the city.
It was a small farmyard in the suburbs of Beijing, remote and quiet, not easily noticed.
Wu Ya had already arrived and prepared the green bell. When she saw Amur coming in, she immediately offered Chu Hong's blood: "Your Majesty, the blood has been obtained. Now we can begin."
Amur took the vessel, took a deep breath, then took out the dagger he carried with him and cut his finger.
The bells for blood testing are a pair, each storing one person's blood.
After Wu Ya dripped his blood into the bell, he slowly dripped Chu Hong's blood into another bell.
"Let's start." Amur ordered.
Wu Ya nodded, formed seals with her hands, and chanted an ancient spell.
Two bells are connected by a red rope and hung above the incense burner. Green smoke curls up from the burner and wraps around the bells.
As Wu Ya chanted the spell, blood mist gradually wrapped around the bell.
Just then.
With a "ding" sound——
The two bells actually moved automatically without any wind, making crisp sounds in the air. At the same time, two balls of blood mist gradually rose up, intertwined and entangled in the air, and gradually condensed into shape.
Amur stared at the two blood mists, his pupils shrinking suddenly——
I saw the two balls of blood mist surging violently in the air, and finally turned into a red-gold wolf and a silver-feathered eagle, biting and fighting each other, but gradually merged into one in the fight, and finally gradually dissipated.
Amur suddenly groaned, staggered back two steps, and felt his heart burning.
He unbuttoned his shirt tremblingly and found that his chest was slightly red, as if it was burned by something.
Wu Ya fell to her knees with a thud and said anxiously, "Cang Lang is king, Yin Ying is heir, and they are bound together by blood... Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is indeed your biological child!"
boom!
Amur's mind suddenly went blank, and he was overwhelmed by great joy. His tall body began to tremble.
Twenty years later, his past obsession was confirmed at this moment, leaving him completely speechless.
He stared at the blood mist that had not yet dissipated, and complex lights flashed in his eyes.
Joy, shock, satisfaction, regret, and hope...
In short, it's very complicated.
"So, he really is my child!"
"Hahahaha...it's the child of the king and Alia..."
At this moment, Amur laughed happily like a child who had just received candy.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard.
"Now, is the king satisfied?"
Amur looked in the direction of the voice, who else could it be but Chu Hong?
"Hong'er! My child!"
When Amur saw Chu Hong appear here, he was very excited. He took two steps forward with his long legs and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha!"
"It was your mother who asked you to come to me, right? I knew she wouldn't let me down."
Amur walked forward with a laugh, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
He reached out to pat Chu Hong's shoulder, but Chu Hong avoided him calmly.
Amur's hand froze in mid-air. He didn't feel embarrassed. He just thought that the child was still unfamiliar with the relationship and still had a smile on his face.
"My dear child, you have no idea how much I have missed you and your mother over the years. After the Emperor Chu's birthday banquet, I will bid him farewell and personally welcome you back to the Western Regions."
"Return to the Western Regions?" Chu Hong looked up at him. There was no joy in his eyes, only a calm aloofness. "Your Majesty, you are joking. I am the Prince Rui of the Great Chu, and my mother is Concubine Jiang of the Great Chu. We are not going anywhere."
The smile on Amur's face froze instantly.
