This white-haired old man with an immortal demeanor is none other than the second prince’s chief of staff, Lord Yanlong.
He walked up to Ji Tianxing with a fly whisk in hand and bowed with a smile on his face.
"Old man Yanlong, I have met Mr. Tianxing!"
Ji Tianxing and others stopped and focused their eyes on Lord Yanlong.
"Yan Long?" Ji Tianxing frowned and asked, "The second prince's chief of staff?"
He had already investigated the information and materials about the second prince.
Therefore, he knew about the existence of Lord Yanlong.
I also know the strength of this person and that he is a high-ranking god in the seventh level.
"It's the old man." Lord Yanlong bowed slightly and responded with a smile.
Ji Tianxing asked calmly: "Did Lord Yanlong come to convey a message to me on behalf of the second prince? Or did you invite me to be a guest?"
Lord Yanlong showed admiration and said: "I have long heard that the young master is unparalleled in intelligence, and tonight when I saw it, it turned out to be so. I really admire him!
What you said is true, the old man invited the young master to be a guest at the Chengyang Courtyard in the southern suburbs on behalf of the Lord."
Ji Tianxing had long known that the second prince was good at scheming and strategy, and was a ruthless and scheming tycoon.
Even if he and the second prince had a grudge, it seemed that they were incompatible with each other.
But at the critical moment, the second prince will definitely weigh the pros and cons and make corresponding concessions.
Especially this time, the king wants to make the fifth prince the crown prince.
The second prince and the third prince were both caught off guard, and they would definitely try to cooperate and join forces to stop the fifth prince.
The two men have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and have long had deep grudges.
Even if we want to cooperate, we can't meet face to face due to face reasons, so we need a bridge in the middle.
Ji Tianxing knew that he was the best candidate.
Therefore, before he entered the royal capital, he expected that the second prince would win over him.
Sure enough, Lord Yanlong came tonight.
"Southern suburbs? Chengyang Villa?" Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and said with a playful smile: "The second prince actually chose a courtyard outside the city? I'm afraid there won't be a good banquet?"
Lord Yanlong looked solemn and quickly explained: "Young Master has misunderstood! My master is very thirsty for talents and has long been interested in Young Master's talents and wants to make friends with him.
Now that the young master has come to the royal capital, your lord, as the host, will take this opportunity to host a banquet for you.
Please rest assured, sir, that the Lord is sincere in inviting you to be a guest, and there is absolutely no malice at all!"
Ji Tianxing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, just wait here for me for a while."
Seeing that he agreed to attend the banquet, Lord Yanlong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted: "I am waiting here."
Ji Tianxing turned to look at Wushuang and said in a gentle tone: "Shuang'er, dad is going out of town and can't accompany you anymore.
You must be tired from playing tonight, go back to Changfengyuan and rest."
Ji Wushuang also understood that it was not convenient for her father to take her with him when he went to deal with important matters outside the city.
So, she nodded obediently and warned: "Dad, people's hearts are sinister and the environment is complicated. You have to be more careful."
Ji Tianxing touched her head and said with a smile: "Well, dad will be fine. You can rest peacefully. Dad will be back soon."
After saying that, he looked at Zhenhong again and ordered: "Zhenhong, accompany Shuang'er back to your residence to rest.
You must guard her every step of the way and there must be no accidents!"
The True Red Lord nodded without hesitation and vowed: "Sir, please rest assured that Changfeng Yuan is well guarded and there will never be any accidents."
Ji Tianxing said nothing more and waved them away.
He watched Zhenhong and Wushuang enter Changfengyuan, and then led Bailong to the Lord Yanlong.
Lord Yanlong bowed and made a gesture of invitation.
Ji Tianxing and Bai Long boarded the gorgeous carriage, followed by Shenjun Yanlong.
After the three people entered the carriage and took their seats, the driver drove the four divine beasts and pulled the carriage away from Changfeng Yuan.
This luxurious and restrained carriage traveled quickly under the night and quickly arrived at the West City Gate.
After leaving the royal capital, the carriage flew into the night sky and headed straight for the western suburbs.
Chengyang Villa is one of the properties under the name of the second prince.
This beautiful, quiet and elegant house is located on Chengyang Mountain, nine thousand miles away from the royal capital.
The villa covers an area of 1,000 acres and is beautifully and elegantly built, with a somewhat primitive and elegant temperament.
On weekdays, the second prince rarely comes here.
I would only come here to entertain distinguished guests, or to secretly discuss important matters or meet someone.
There are powerful divine formations covering both the inside and outside of the courtyard, and there are hundreds of guards guarding it.
Its level of defense is no less stringent than that of the Third Prince's Changfeng Yuan.
Just a quarter of an hour later.
The carriage arrived at the gate of Chengyang Villa.
Lord Yanlong took Ji Tianxing and Bailong into the Chengyang Courtyard.
The three of them walked through the two courtyards and gardens, arrived at the third courtyard, and walked towards the splendid reception hall.
On the way, Ji Tianxing and Bai Long were secretly observing the layout of the other courtyards and the distribution of defenses.
Bailong quietly sent a message to remind Ji Tianxing, "Master, this courtyard is heavily guarded, with divine formations deployed everywhere.
If the second prince has evil intentions, I'm afraid we will be in danger and very troublesome."
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said through a message: "The second prince is not stupid, and he is not a man who is driven by impulse.
He knows better than anyone that at this juncture, he cannot take action against me.
Moreover, I have already investigated and found that there are not a large number of powerful people ambushing the other courtyard, so it should be safe."
Bailong felt relieved after hearing what he said.
Soon, the three of them entered the reception hall.
As soon as he entered the brightly lit hall, Ji Tianxing saw a large dining table lined up with delicious food and wine.
A dozen young and beautiful maids were standing respectfully.
The second prince, dressed in a golden python robe, was sitting on the main seat, waiting patiently.
Lord Yanlong walked towards the second prince and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tianxing has arrived."
The second prince immediately stood up, looked at Ji Tianxing with a smile on his face, bowed his hands and said, "I have long heard of Mr. Tianxing's name and deeds, and I admire him very much.
To be honest, I have been on good terms with you for a long time.
I am so lucky to have you here as a guest tonight!"
The second prince laughed heartily, walked towards Ji Tianxing with open arms, and wanted to give him a cordial hug.
His boldness and enthusiasm seemed a bit excessive.
Ji Tianxing frowned secretly, but remained calm on the surface.
He was ten steps away from the second prince, so he raised his hands and saluted, saying: "It is an honor for me to be invited by the second prince to meet His Highness."
Without being rude, he also calmly refused the second prince's embrace and eagerness.
The second prince knew what he was doing, and there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, but he didn't show any embarrassment on the surface.
He retracted his arms without any trace, and instead pulled Ji Tianxing's sleeves, asking him to take a seat at the guest seat.
"Fine wine and delicacies have been prepared. Sir, please take a seat quickly. Let's have a few drinks!"
While talking, the second prince picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Ji Tianxing himself.
