I got on the carriage, walked out of the door, drove onto the main road of Xicheng, and stopped at the agreed place.
After waiting for a while, the Zhang family's carriage arrived as expected. Zhang Su opened the curtain and smiled at Jia Lian: "Sorry for the long wait, brother Lian."
"Brother Su, you're welcome. I've just arrived. Are we leaving now?"
"Wait a minute, I have an appointment with someone."
Jia Lian nodded. While waiting for others, Jia Lian and Zhang Su spoke across the carriage and asked casually: "How long have the second brother and the fourth prince known each other?"
"Since I completed my career, I have been appointed by the Holy One as His Highness's companion. It has been almost three years now."
When Jia Lian heard this, he thought to himself that it was beneficial to be able to study. For example, compared with Zhang Su, the Jia family's family background was actually higher than that of the Zhang family, and Zhang Su was only the second grandson of the Zhang family, but he had already
Get involved with the princes and relatives.
And he, so far, probably doesn't even recognize a prince, let alone have any friendship with him.
This time, the fourth prince took advantage of his vacation to hold a poetry reception in his new residence and invited Zhang Su.
During this period, Zhang Su's relationship with Jia Lian warmed up rapidly due to Jia Lian's intentional friendship. The saying that a long separation is better than a new marriage is also similar for men. When they were children, the two of them peed together and peeked together.
The young lady who lived in another family's family, and now they are back together after many years, they are naturally closer than ordinary cousins.
So Zhang Su invited Jia Lian to accompany him to the Fourth Prince's Mansion today, but Jia Lian did not refuse.
After talking for a while, sure enough, another carriage drove up from the east end of the street, also lightly dressed.
As soon as he got close, a tall young man in a green robe jumped out quickly.
He took two steps forward, cupped his fists and saluted, saying, "I'm sorry, I'll keep you two waiting."
Zhang Su said with a smile: "Let me introduce you to Brother Lian. This is the son of General Feng, the Shenwu General. His twin names are Zizi and Ying. I wonder if Brother Lian recognizes him?"
Jia Lian looked at Feng Ziying who was smiling at him on the ground, nodded and said: "Brother Feng and I must have met several times, but we rarely interact with each other."
Feng Ziying also bowed to Jia Lian at this time, "I didn't expect to see second brother Lian here, Ziying is polite."
Zhang Su saw that the two of them knew each other, so he didn't say much, let Feng Ziying get in the car, and then set off.
Zhang Su often went in and out of the Imperial City, so all the gatekeepers in the Imperial City recognized him, so they were let through without questioning them.
The Imperial City is much quieter than the rest of the city, especially in the winter. There are almost no people on the road. Only the occasional carriages passing by will make some noise, and everything soon becomes quiet.
Before arriving at the recently built mansion of the fourth prince, this place was much more lively than elsewhere.
As you approach the gate, you can feel the restless atmosphere inside.
Jia Lian and the other three got out of the car one after another. They also prepared simple congratulations and were registering at the side. Suddenly, they saw a large carriage speeding up and stopping in front of the mansion. Behind it, there was a large group of servants.
A young man in rich robes was helped out of the carriage and cursed: "Damn it, it's getting colder and colder!"
Then he turned around and ordered: "Please bring out my Black General quickly... Huh, he has been hiding for so long. Today I want to see how he can hide and what he can use to deal with my Black General."
As his words fell, two attendants were seen respectfully carrying a cage out of the carriage. Through the gorgeous mesh, one could clearly see that inside was a majestic and high-spirited rooster. But it was covered in blood.
Most of the black hair fell off, revealing the dark chicken body, which looked very funny.
The young man didn't think that when he saw the black chicken, it was like seeing his own wife. He quickly took it, held it in his arms, covered it with his sleeves and walked forward, as if he was afraid that his "beloved wife" would be blown by a bit of cold wind.
.
It's not like Jia Lian has never seen the behavior of cockfighters, but he still couldn't help but laugh a little at this moment.
Zhang Su actually thought it was funny, but he recognized the young man, so he secretly pulled Jia Lian to ask him to pay attention.
Jia Lian just felt funny in his heart and couldn't help but smile a little on his face. He didn't make any mocking moves or make any discordant sounds.
However, the young man still seemed to feel the way Jia Lian and the others looked at the monkeys, so he glanced at the three of them, and when he saw that they were not royal children, he sneered: "Country bumpkins!"
When Jia Lian heard this, he felt even more interesting. He felt that he had seen this scene before, and it was definitely more than once.
Fortunately, the story did not go as he had speculated. The young man did not mean to cause trouble for them. He just snorted coldly and walked in with his beloved wife in his arms.
Only then did Zhang Su show the same smile as Jia Lian and introduced: "He is Crown Prince Duan, a first-rate gangster in the royal family. He has some grudges with our fourth prince...well, there is quite a bit of grudges."
Jia Lian and Feng Ziying both expressed their understanding. There is indeed a class of people in the world who do not need to speak. As long as they show up, except for their names, all other information will be exposed to others. This is obviously the case for Prince Duan.
Zhang Su was relatively familiar with the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so he took Jia Lian and his wife deeper into the palace without the guidance of a servant.
During this period, Jia Lian also reviewed the newly built Prince's Mansion. To be honest, in addition to being brand new, some of the walls and columns and beams were carved with dragons and phoenixes. In fact, the layout and splendor were slightly inferior to those of the Rongguo Mansion. Moreover, visual inspection
The entire Prince's Mansion occupies a much smaller area than Rongguo Mansion.
I don’t know whether it was because the emperor’s funds allocated to the four princes to build their mansions were not enough, or because there was too little land in the imperial city.
Based on this comparison, wouldn't the Ningrong Mansion be suspected of violating the regulations? Fortunately, it was created by the emperor, otherwise this one crime would be enough to kill the Jia family.
After a while, we arrived at the martial arts arena, which was already a bit overcrowded.
Around the martial arts stage, in addition to the neatly placed swords, guns, swords and halberds on all sides, there are some tables, chairs and benches scattered in other free spaces. The tables are covered with wine and food.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On the high platform, a magnificent and thrilling battle has begun.
The main characters are two chickens.
Jia Lian, the fighting cock above, didn't care at all. He was observing the people present.
As expected, the princes and grandsons were all divided into circles. He didn't know most of the people in them. Most of them were the princes, dragons and grandsons, relatives of the emperor. As for Zhang Su, many people knew him, and people kept talking to him along the way.
call.
The three of them found a relatively empty place to sit down, and then they saw that the battle above had come to an end. After all, the black chicken was unstoppable and pecked the opponent to death.
Prince Duan's proud laughter could not be suppressed and spread in all directions.
I saw a young man with a dark face suddenly jump on the stage, and a few black feet kicked towards the arrogant black rooster, which made it scream "coo-coo" and run away.
"Wei Ling, are you still shameless?!" Prince Duan was extremely angry and hurriedly ran up to protect his beloved wife.
The fourth prince, who had already received a kick and was in a much better mood, saw that the opportunity had been lost, so he stopped taking action. He just put his hands on his hips and cursed: "You are so proud of yourself. If my general Shenwei hadn't been killed by my father,
, you are nothing but a nigger, you are just a defeated general!
That’s all, I have recently changed my hobby and fell in love with cricket fighting. If you can beat me in cricket fighting, I will be convinced of you.”
Prince Duan sneered and said: "You are still like that, you always talk tough when you lose. Who knew you were going to fight crickets today, and I didn't bring you with me, so how could I fight with you?"
"Crickets are easy to deal with. There are a lot of crickets in the grass outside my yard. Go and pick them up quickly. With the light of my new mansion, you might be able to pick out one of the brave and invincible ones. Don't worry, I won't take them away then.
It’s your money.”
"Huh, do you think I'm a fool?"
The two people quarreled in front of dozens of young men, but everyone was used to it, just treating it like watching a show. Until a rather majestic young voice came from under the eaves of the front corridor: "Okay, we are all children of the royal family, you
The two of you are arguing back and forth on the stage. How unbecoming it is, please come down and leave the competition stage to everyone."
Hearing this voice, even Crown Prince Duan, whose nostrils were pointing upwards, quickly turned around, bowed, and then looked at each other with disapproval and jumped off the stage.
