Over the past hundreds of years, Yanzu's concubines gave birth to more than a dozen sons and more than a dozen daughters.
Among them, Chen Dong had only met the third prince Yanji. He was probably an incompetent guy. He would make a big show on the streets, with at least dozens of carriages. The two of them had a conflict because of this, until Chen Dong came up with a trick.
Don't stop until the jade sword comes.
Chen Dong has actually heard about the dispute between the eldest prince and the second prince. It is said that the other princes have also taken sides, each standing in a different camp, supporting the eldest prince and the second prince respectively.
In the past, he felt that this kind of imperial power struggle was very far away from his life, so Chen Dong didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, the Yanwu Cup entered the top eight and suddenly inserted into his life.
Who can inherit the throne actually doesn't matter to Chen Dong and has nothing to do with him. He is just very interested in those princes.
These princes all have the "imperial blood" of Yan Zu!
If you feed the little white dragon one, won't it continue to shed its skin?
It is true that Chen Dong is embarrassed to attack Yan Zu's son. After all, Yan Zu is quite good to him, but if there are really one or two sons who are especially crotch-stretching...
It’s not impossible, right?
Although Chen Dong had previously planned to go to the south to look for the descendants of the demon ancestor "Harman", he really didn't know that the Year of the Monkey had passed away. Now that he had a better opportunity, he decided to go and have a look.
So Chen Dong decided to go to the banquet, not to take sides, but to inspect.
Only then would he say such seemingly absurd words as "go to both sides".
The reason for this is of course not enough to protect the Dharma. He just smiled and said: "I won't take sides, I will just go over and take a look."
The Supreme Protector said worriedly: "If you go to both sides, you will only offend both of them. It is better not to go to both sides."
"Hey, I'm really not afraid of offending anyone." Chen Dong naturally dismissed it.
At this moment, someone suddenly came to visit.
It's Xia Jinglong.
"Senior Brother Chen, have you received the invitation?" Xia Jinglong asked.
"I got it." Chen Dong shook the two invitations in his hand.
"Where are you going?" Xia Jinglong asked again.
Chen Dong realized that there was something in Xia Jinglong's words, so he didn't rush to answer the question, but said, "What about you?"
"I am going to go to the eldest prince." Xia Jinglong said: "The eldest prince Yan Ting is very talented and has many supporters in the court. He is also a master of the Holy Spirit. I am very optimistic about his future."
It seems that Xia Jinglong has made his choice.
Chen Dong nodded and said: "I am not familiar with the two princes, but I can follow you to the eldest prince's place to have a look first."
"Okay." Xia Jinglong laughed.
After bidding farewell to the Supreme Protector, the two of them went out together, used the art of flying, left Yanwu Mountain, and headed to the Upper Capital.
On the way, Chen Dong got some news from Xia Jinglong.
Among the top eight, except for the three masters under the kings with different surnames, several others have already left. Chen Dong, Xia Jinglong, Gao Qinghe are going to the eldest prince, and Wu Yang and Leng Yanni are going to the second prince.
Among the top sixteen, there are also several people who have received invitations from the two princes, but we don’t know who they are.
Entering Shang Shang Jingzhong, two very gorgeous carriages are already waiting here.
Xia Jinglong was familiar with the roads and took Chen Dong directly to the carriage sent by the eldest prince, and then galloped along the avenue towards the "Baihua Tower".
In the car, Chen Dong asked: "Senior Brother Xia, did you also participate in the last Yanwu Cup?"
Xia Jinglong knew what Chen Dong meant, nodded and said: "Yes, I accepted the eldest prince's invitation last time. The eldest prince is really a very good person. If he inherits the throne in the future, he will definitely govern the world better.
.”
Chen Dong nodded and said no more words.
…
On the top of Yanwu Mountain, in an elegant house.
Yan Zu was half lying on a soft bed, listening to a guard reporting the situation.
"Chen Dong actually went to Yan Ting's place..." Yan Zu shook his head slightly: "Qingyun Temple's status is very important, how could he take any side casually? Didn't the Supreme Protector admonish him?"
"This... subordinates don't know."
"Well, go down and continue to inquire."
Yan Zu waved his hand.
The guards retreated step by step.
…
Going to Beijing, Baihua Tower.
Listening to this name, you know that it is a place where men look for flowers and flowers.
In the Baihua Tower, there are indeed birds and birds, and the flowers are red and the willows are green, but the function of the Baihua Tower is not just that.
Here is Ye Yingxue, the most beautiful oiran in Beijing. Her appearance is truly unparalleled in the world, and she is the most beautiful woman in the country. She also has a pair of skillful hands, and is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Many wealthy people and masters from all walks of life would come to Baihua Tower just to catch a glimpse of Ye Yingxue's beauty. If they could kiss her, it would be a blessing that could not be achieved in eight lifetimes.
That's why the eldest prince Yan Ting likes to come here very much, not because he wants to meet Ye Yingxue. After all, with his status, he has seen a lot of Ye Yingxue - he wants to win over the world's wealthy people, and staying here will often bring unexpected gains.
As for Ye Yingxue, she was taken under his wing early and became his weapon to attract countless men.
Yan Ting booked the entire Baihua Building tonight just to entertain a few very important guests.
When Chen Dong and Xia Jinglong arrived, Yan Ting rushed out in a hurry, one of his shoes even fell off, and his face was full of joy.
"Master Chen, Brother Xia, we have been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!" Yan Ting, with his eyebrows dancing, took one by one and led them into a living room.
With Yan Ting's identity and status, it would be no exaggeration for Chen Dong and Xia Jinglong to kowtow to him, but he treated them as brothers with enthusiasm, which made both of them feel warm in their hearts.
As Xia Jinglong walked, he looked at Chen Dong. What did he mean? The eldest prince is not bad, right?
Chen Dong nodded calmly. From the outside it looked pretty good, at least he was much better than the Third Prince.
——Before this, Chen Dong had only met the third prince, so he could only compare him with him.
Entering the hall, you will see luxury everywhere, with long tables, jade, fruit plates, fine wines, and beautiful girls walking around.
As soon as he came in, Chen Dong saw an acquaintance, Lu Fengyu.
Although Lu Fengyu was not among the top 16, he still got an invitation from the eldest prince, and he had come a long time ago. He had already drank seven or eight glasses of wine, and was laughing with a girl in his arms.
However, as soon as Chen Dong came in, Lu Fengyu's smile faded a lot, and he turned his face away, pretending not to see him.
Of course, Chen Dong couldn't take the initiative to say hello to him, so he looked elsewhere and saw that the high-definition river in Binghan Castle was also there, as well as several top 16 experts.
Gao Qinghe nodded to Chen Dong, and Chen Dong also nodded to him.
There were several men sitting in front, all of whom were luxuriously dressed and of extraordinary temperament. Chen Dong had never seen them before, so he guessed they were other princes.
Yan Ting personally arranged seats for Chen Dong and Xia Jinglong to sit down, and also called two beautiful girls to accompany them.
Xia Jinglong immediately cupped his hands and said, "First Prince, I already have my heart, so I can skip this step."
Yan Ting asked strangely: "Which girl do you like?"
Xia Jinglong said shyly: "She is the granddaughter of our leader, her name is Xiang Feifei."
Yan Ting was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, it's rare for Brother Xia to be so infatuated. It would be a bit ignorant of me to persuade him again."
He waved his hand and let the girl go down.
When Chen Dong saw it, he also said: "First Prince, I have a girlfriend, and I don't need a girl to accompany me anymore."
Chen Dong is a disciple of Qingyun Temple and one of the favorites to win the Yanwu Cup. Of course, Yan Ting values him very much and immediately said in surprise: "Master Chen has a girlfriend? I don't know which family she is from.
Is this girl so lucky?"
Chen Dong was silent for a while and said, "You wouldn't know her name even if I told her. Besides, it's not that she is lucky, but that I am lucky."
Even though many years have passed and the environment has changed again and again, Chen Dong can never forget the first scene when he met Xiao Xiao.
But it seems unbelievable to Yan Ting. Chen Dong is the strongest disciple of Qingyun Temple. How noble must he be?
Yan Ting was a little dumb for a moment, but he still smiled and said: "I see, I hope I can meet her one day."
Chen Dong nodded slightly: "I also want to see her as soon as possible."
As soon as Chen Dong and Xia Jinglong arrived, everyone was already there.
Yan Ting helped everyone introduce each other, and then Chen Dong learned that the luxuriously dressed young masters were the fourth prince, the sixth prince and the eighth prince. They were all the most loyal fans of the eldest prince.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yan Ting called Ye Yingxue up and asked her to play a song for everyone.
Even Chen Dong, who has never been tempted by other women, has to admit that Ye Yingxue is indeed extremely beautiful, almost as beautiful as Xiao Xiao - this is the highest praise Chen Dong can give to other women.
Moreover, Ye Yingxue's playing of the guqin was even more moving. A pair of slender hands moved the guqin slightly, and the melodious music lingered in everyone's ears.
Beautiful, really beautiful!
Beautiful people make the sound of the piano even more beautiful. The two complement each other and make the music even more beautiful.
Everyone present could not help but be intoxicated by the wonderful sound of the piano.
But Chen Dong couldn't help but think: "In terms of talent alone, Xiao Xiao did lose, but in terms of martial arts, Xiao Xiao is definitely better. Xiao Xiao can stab a bloody hole in her throat with one sword."
It's a good thing that he didn't say these words, otherwise everyone would definitely shake their heads. Such a beautiful person and the sound of the piano want to ruin the scenery. What's the difference between burning the piano and cooking cranes?
After the song, Ye Yingxue stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, and then retreated as quietly as the breeze.
Everyone was still immersed in the sound of the piano, and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
Yan Ting quietly came to Lu Fengyu and whispered a few words in his ear.
I don't know what Yan Ting said, but Lu Fengyu obviously looked unhappy. However, after Yan Ting's repeated requests, he still stood up, held a glass of jade wine, and staggered to Chen Dong.
"Chen Dong, we don't know each other even if we don't fight each other. Now that we are both subordinates of the eldest prince, let's shake hands and make peace!" Lu Fengyu looked at Chen Dong and said leisurely.
