Behind the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace of the Imperial Palace in Xiandu City, outside a remote courtyard, the Prince was carrying a thunder blade, and Du Zhentian and Cao Qingyang were standing outside respectfully.
Even though he is usually as arrogant as a prince, at this time he appears to be extremely pious.
This is a simple courtyard, clean and secluded. Due to the prince's order, no one is allowed to come near, and no one has seen any signs of activity in this courtyard. Therefore, the entire palace does not know that there is actually a person living in it.
people.
This person is enough to make the entire fairy dynasty turbulent!
The three of them waited outside the yard for more than ten minutes. The iron gate of the yard, which was locked from behind, suddenly opened automatically with a creak.
Lei Ren looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard walking out of the yard.
The old man looked to be in his eighties or nineties, with white eyebrows and a somewhat stooped figure. He was carrying a brown lion head crutch. When he walked, his long white hair fell down on his head, giving him a mysterious feeling.
"Is this the great master Taiyi Xianzun of the famous Immortal Dynasty?"
Lei Ren looked a little dazed. This old man who looked very old had no breath on his body, and he couldn't even feel the breath of Qi at all. He was actually a peerless strong man?
When Lei Ren felt incredible, the prince had already spoken respectfully: "Teacher, thank you for your hard work today."
Taiyi Immortal Lord came out and said nothing. He only said: "Let's go."
He didn't even look at Lei Ren and the other three. Under his leadership, the four of them walked out. When they walked out of the East Palace, they were immediately surrounded by a group of people. The prince and Taiyi Immortal got into the same carriage.
, Lei Ren and three others rode in a carriage together.
Because the Sixth Immortal Emperor was dying, the engagement ceremony between King Wu and Ye Qingshuang was not carried out with much fanfare, but only a handful of people were invited to Chongwen Hall to witness it.
Lei Ren followed the prince to Chongwen Hall, but before he went in, he heard Taiyi Xianzun say: "I am used to being quiet. It would be better not to come to a place like this. Prince, please find a quiet place nearby for me.
Calm your mind."
"teacher……"
"Don't worry, I'm here, so you can rest assured about today's matters."
Originally the prince wanted to say something, but seeing that Taiyi Immortal Lord had already made his decision, he could only order someone to find a room in a side hall next to Chongwen Hall and let Taiyi Immortal Lord enter the room to rest.
Lei Ren was standing aside, feeling puzzled by the temper of Taiyi Immortal Lord. It was too weird. Since he didn't want to come, why did he come just now?
Could it be that he wants to get closer to Chongwen Palace and control the overall situation?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
The voice of a eunuch at the entrance of Chongwen Palace was heard. Immediately, King Wu, dressed in bright red robes, walked out of Chongwen Palace with a smile. When he saw the prince, he first bowed and saluted, and then said: "Brother is here in person, and I am honored to win. Please invite your highness, the prince."
Take a seat."
These two are half-brothers. Although the two parties are incompatible with each other, whenever they meet, they are called elder brother and younger brother, as if they are very close.
"Haha, King Wu is very happy. How can I not come as my brother? Bring me the gift."
The prince smiled faintly, and a follower behind him presented a gold-inlaid box. King Wu took it, but before he opened it, the prince said: "A pearl of night in the Arctic snow, a hundred years old, haha, it is just right for a hero like King Wu."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
From the beginning to the end of the conversation, the two of them didn't even look at each other. They both looked absent-minded.
Not only that, behind King Wu and Du Zhentian behind the Crown Prince, everyone was holding their breath, looking a little murderous, as if the war was about to break out.
Without any more words, a civil servant behind King Wu welcomed the prince in, and the three Lei Ren followed closely.
The Chongwen Hall was now decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, all in bright red.
The entire Chongwen Hall is divided into an inner hall and an outer hall. The inner hall is guarded by many experts, and non-ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
The outer hall is mainly reserved for the accompanying maids.
Therefore, the civil servant introduced the prince into the inner hall, while the three Lei Ren people stayed in the outer hall, found a table, and sat down quietly.
"There's something wrong with the atmosphere. You two, please pay attention."
Sitting at the edge of the table, Cao Qingyang looked around and whispered to Lei Ren and Du Zhentian.
"What's wrong?" Du Zhentian asked in confusion.
Cao Qingyang sneered, lowered his voice, and said warily: "Have you noticed that today, on King Wu's happy day, his guests are a little weird?"
Du Zhentian is a big boss, but he still refuses to answer: "Master Hou, just tell me directly. How could I possibly guess it?"
Cao Qingyang said: "Look carefully, almost all of the guests invited by King Wu today are military generals. Moreover, these generals are all direct descendants of King Wu! On the contrary, none of our military generals have been invited!"
"hiss!"
Hearing this, Du Zhentian took a closer look, took a breath of air, and said in surprise: "Yeah, why didn't I notice it! This King Wu, I'm afraid it's not as simple as getting engaged today, he probably wants to..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Cao Qingyang reminded in a low voice.
When Du Zhentian saw this level, he suddenly felt very uneasy and muttered: "It's impossible for His Highness not to notice such an obvious thing, right? Logically speaking, Your Highness should have noticed it beforehand, so why did he only bring the three of us with him?
Keeping an appointment? This is not... If I were Your Highness, I would not come!"
Cao Qingyang looked at him with a sneer and said: "His Royal Highness is smart and talented, it would be great if you could match one-tenth of it. Humph, Zhentian, His Highness has his own reasons for such an arrangement. Don't make any assumptions."
"Yeah, His Highness is always cautious in doing things. He must be confident when he comes like this."
These two people had a very clear grasp of the prince's nature. Therefore, even if they felt that they were in danger at this time, they did not panic because they knew that the always cautious prince would never let himself be in such a dangerous situation.
.
Now that he is here, he must be confident!
Lei Ren sat aside, listening to the conversation between the two, and remained silent.
But in his mind, he was also thinking about the various situations of the past few days.
Judging from the arrangement of guests and guards in Chongwen Hall today, it is definitely not as simple as King Wu getting engaged.
The drunkard's intention is not to drink, the engagement is just a cover, he is probably going to attack the prince!
And Ye Qingshuang became his pawn!
Thinking of this, Lei Ren couldn't help but feel a little worried about Ye Qingshuang.
Doesn't Ye Qingshuang know that she is being used by King Wu?
And King Wu's layout was so obvious, and with the prince's intelligence, it was impossible not to know that this was a Hongmen Banquet.
Knowing that it was the Hongmen Banquet, the prince still came here calmly and calmly. What kind of medicine was he selling in the gourd?
