Fortunately, Hong Xiu and Huo Gang arrived in time. The second prince Suyu gathered the thirteen dead soldiers of the Luoyue Dynasty, more than 300 secret guards, and the 3,000 elite soldiers brought by the traitors of the Cangye Dynasty. None of them were buried in the Netherworld Palace.
In the secret passage of the agency, they trampled the Netherworld Palace to the ground without hurting a single soldier. However, unfortunately, the Netherworld Palace was completely empty. They obviously got the news in advance and evacuated the main altar of the Netherworld Palace.
"To the second prince, what should we do next?" Han Zhong said politely.
A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Su Yu's lips, and he said: "Set fire to the Netherworld Palace, then go to the Fengwu border, and meet up with the eldest prince, the third prince, and the others."
"Yes, Second Prince." Han Zhong waved his hand, and his soldiers came up with firewood and torches. They piled the firewood together, and then threw the torches into the firewood one after another.
As the wind blew, the flames crackled and quickly ignited the firewood. The fire soon spread to the Netherworld Palace, with thick smoke billowing and flames rising rapidly.
Su Yu stood outside the Nether Palace. He glanced past the Nether Palace in flames, guessing that the little witch who tied him up was very interesting, but could they meet again?
In his cunning, fox-like black eyes, a nasty light appeared that looked like a smile but not a smile.
"Retreat!" He jumped on his horse and led a large group of people to rush to the Fengwu border.
Not long after he left, a red figure landed at the door of Netherworld Palace. She had sparkling eyes and golden bell anklets hanging on her bare feet. As she walked, the crisp sound of bells floated in the wind.
, melodious and charming.
Looking at the Netherworld Palace submerged in a fire, her bright eyes were filled with sparks. The hands at her sides were suddenly clenched into fists. Brat, I won't let you go, aunt!
As the wind blows, the red figure blooms like an enchanting flame, and the crisp sound of the bells is distant and vast, conveying something confusing and evil.
The large group of people who had evacuated from the Netherworld Palace had already arrived at the Fengwu Palace, waiting for the order from the Lord of the Netherworld Palace. Suye, Fang Qing, and Suli in Qinglan Pavilion received messages from all over the place.
They looked at each other, stepped out of Qinglan Pavilion, jumped on their horses, and arrived at the gate of Fengwu Imperial City.
On the city gate, there was the faint sound of the piano, and the jade fingers were sweeping. At this moment, the man in blue shirt was sitting in his seat, with his usual gentle expression.
Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up and he smiled brightly. He raised his eyes and stared at the man in green shirt beside him.
"They are coming." He paused his fingers slightly, stood up gracefully, stepped into the wind, and walked to the city porch.
He leaned forward slightly and stared at the three figures under the city gate with a faint smile.
"Li'er, Ye'er, I haven't seen each other for fifteen years. I didn't expect that our uncle and nephew would meet here today. It's so rare." With a handsome face and a gentle smile, he vaguely looked like that elegant and gentle scholar.
"Hello, Uncle Second Emperor." Suli smiled gently. He stared at the Second Emperor's Uncle in his memory, the Second Emperor's Uncle who loved them very much when they were young, and the Second Emperor's Uncle Su Mingyi who had disappeared for fifteen years.
We met under such circumstances today, things are unpredictable.
Su Ye's icy blue eyes flashed with a flying light, and the light suddenly settled. His thin lips were raised, and a smile as beautiful as a spring flower floated on the corners of his lips.
"Hello, Uncle Second Emperor."
Fang Qing's indifferent eyes were slightly radiant. Her indifferent eyes swept across the elegant and noble man in blue shirt on the city gate. She looked at his gentle and smiling look, and there was something between Su Mingjing and her eldest brother Suli between his eyebrows.
Somewhat similar. She wondered how such a seemingly aloof man could become a cruel executioner who started a war in the world.
As they looked at each other, Su Mingyi's smiling gaze fell quietly on Fang Qing's cold face.
"This must be my niece-in-law." A flash of admiration flashed in his dark eyes, and his lips raised. "Ye'er really has good taste. This niece-in-law is a good choice."
"Thank you, Uncle Second Emperor, for the compliment." Suye's icy blue eyes showed a faint smile, and his expression was calm and peaceful.
A smile streamed from Su Mingyi's lips, and he raised his hand to lightly wave his sleeves. "It's rude of me to stand and speak like this. Come, open the city gate. I want to hold a banquet for my two good nephews.
Let’s celebrate this rare gathering.”
The guards on the side looked dumbfounded. They were clearly hostile parties, but at this moment they looked like family members were reunited, without any murderous intent.
I really don't know what kind of medicine they are selling in this gourd. The guard speculated in his mind, but did not dare to slow down even half a step. He had already gone to open the city gate.
The city gate opened, emitting an ancient and rich sound.
Su Li, Su Ye, and Fang Qing calmly and calmly got off their horses. The three of them stepped into the city gate with natural expressions and arrived at the banquet arranged by Su Mingyi.
"Li'er, Ye'er, and Miss Fang are all members of our family. We don't need guests, so feel free to sit down." Su Mingyi sat down on the main seat and greeted the three of them with a smile.
Su Li, Su Ye and Fang Qing were not polite, they sat down openly.
"Come on, come on, it's rare for uncle and nephew to meet each other today. My second uncle wants to have a good drink with you." He raised the wine bottle and poured three full glasses of wine for the three of them with a faint smile.
"This wine is called Acacia wine. It has a unique taste after entering the throat. It was brewed by my second uncle. Ye'er's mother Xue Ying used to like to drink the wine. You might as well try it and see how skilled your second uncle is in brewing it.
How about it?" He was like an old man reunited after a long absence, entertaining his descendants attentively, and the faint joy between his brows did not seem to be fake.
Su Li and Su Ye did not hesitate, they raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Fang Qing played with the wine glass in her hand. She looked calmly through the jade-colored wine glass, her eyebrows slightly raised. She couldn't see through the person in front of her. A person like him could be a scholar or a foreigner.
A master may be a knight, but he doesn't look like a ruthless killer who slaughters people all over the world.
Su Mingyi met Fang Qing's confused eyes. He smiled brightly and looked at her quietly. "Does Miss Fang dislike my second uncle's poor craftsmanship?"
Fang Qing's cold lip line twitched slightly, and she said: "Drinking is determined by your mood, not the wine itself. This little girl is not very talented and doesn't know how to taste wine. As long as she can drink wine." She said.
The corners of her lips curled up, and she took a few sips of the acacia wine. It was a bit bitter when it entered her throat, but it also contained a hint of sweetness. It must be the taste of acacia.
A person like him is not a simple person in himself, but it is a pity.
With a slight sigh, a faint sarcasm floated on her lips, which seemed to be her attitude towards the world.
Su Mingyi looked at Fang Qing, the light of his smile converged, and a soft and joyful color floated in his eyes.
"Miss Fang's views are very unique, so unique that I am a little moved. If it had been fifteen years ago, when I was young, I would probably have fallen under the girl's skirt." If it were someone else who said this, they would definitely agree.
It was misleading, but Su Mingyi spoke so naturally. No one dared to look down on him, but instead admired him silently.
This man is really a pity.
Fang Qing sighed softly again.
Su Mingyi smiled slightly and said, "Why are you sighing so much? Could it be that my second uncle was not polite? It was just a joke. Don't bear any grudge against me, my second uncle."
Fang Qing finally couldn't help but glance at him. "A person like you can do any kind of career, so why would you choose something that is annoying and sad?"
As soon as Fang Qing said this, the atmosphere at the wine table suddenly changed. The original peaceful and harmonious warm feeling suddenly became a bit dull and depressing.
Su Mingyi played with the wine glass in his hand for a long time, and then said with a bright smile: "What the girl said is very interesting. Second uncle accepts your compliment. You are right, people like me can do anything, but...
But I have to be inferior to others and can only be ranked second. If my talent is dull and I can't compare to others, then I will accept my fate. But why is it that just because I was born one step ahead of me, I have to step on my head in everything?
Well. Even the girl I love only has eyes for the eldest brother and not for me as the second brother. Speaking of which, should I prove that the worldly view is wrong? I am not worse than the eldest brother in any aspect.
, I can even rank first.”
"But in order to prove that you are number one, you let the people of the world live in water and fire. How can the second uncle bear it?" There was a touch of sadness in Suli's gentle eyes. My father once said that the second uncle is talented.
He is superior to his father in terms of superiority and strategic ability, but he is too ambitious, headstrong, insistent on doing everything, and too stubborn. This time he does not hesitate to use the world as a bet, just to prove that he is the number one, and he will treat those living
Is all life just grains of sand?
He didn't understand why the second emperor's uncle chose such a path. You know - "Besides, as long as the second emperor's uncle opens his mouth, his father will definitely pass the throne to the second emperor's uncle. Why should the second emperor's uncle use such a method?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Shut up!" Su Mingyi's warm smile suddenly disappeared from his face. "How can a person like me be willing to accept charity from others? Regardless of the dragon position or the person you love, I don't even bother to want what he doesn't want. I am the most
What I look down on is your father's cowardice and his satisfaction. The Liuli Kingdom has long been able to unify and dominate the world, but what about your father? What did he do? He blindly avoided the world and tried to reconcile the world all day long. Hum.
——”
He snorted coldly and continued: "The position in the world has always been won by those who are capable. I will let those old pedants of the Su family watch with your own eyes as I calm the world and sit on the position of the world for them to see.
Take a look and let them see whether Su Mingjing is useful to the Liuli Kingdom or whether I, Su Mingyi, is useful to the Liuli Kingdom."
As soon as he said these words, Su Mingyi's expression returned to his usual gentle smile. He said on behalf of Su Li, Su Ye and Fang Qingbu: "Li'er, Ye'er and Miss Fang, it's rare for us uncles and nephews to meet each other.
, Don’t bring up unhappy things today. Come, come, come, keep drinking, keep eating. As long as we are at the banquet today, we are still relatives. When we go out of this door, we will be rivals when we meet again." He
He smiles naturally and speaks naturally.
He has a graceful demeanor and can still be so calm and indifferent at this time. Either he is very confident, or his psychological quality is surprisingly good.
For a moment, no one spoke at the wine table. They drank and ate in silence until the guards outside the door came to report.
"To report to the Palace Master, the King of the Liuli Kingdom Su Mingjing, the Queen Shangguan Yiyun, and the Second Prince Su Yu are all waiting under the city gate and specially come to visit the Palace Master."
