The sun rises in the east, the east of the Three Imperial Cities, the Prince's Mansion, the door of the mansion is wide open, as in the past, the door is open to welcome guests.

In the distance, the figure of Su Yi walked forward, facing the rising sun, his expression was as light as autumn water, and he did not see half of the hostility.

In the eldest prince's mansion, Xuan Zhen felt it, his eyes looked into the distance, and his eyes flashed with different colors.

It's coming, so fast.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Thirteenth is asking to see you outside. ”

A guard from the Prince's Mansion stepped forward quickly and saluted respectfully.

"Please!"

Xuan Zhen opened his mouth and said in a positive way.

"Yes"

The guards took the order and turned to leave.

It didn't take long for a plain-clothed figure to come to the house, step into the hall, and salute politely, "Meet the eldest brother." ”

"The thirteenth brother doesn't have to be polite. ”

Xuan Zhen looked at the young man in front of him and said calmly, "Please take a seat." ”

"Brother Xie Huang!"

Ning Chen responded lightly, and then walked aside and sat down.

"Come on, watch the tea"

Xuan Zhen said.

Not long after the words fell, at the back of the main hall, a maid came with tea and poured tea for the two of them one by one.

"Thank you. Ning Chen said softly.

"The thirteenth brother is here, I don't know what is going on?" Xuan Zhen said indifferently.

"Since I came to the Three Emperors City, I have never had the opportunity to visit, but today I am free, so I came. Ning Chen smiled.

"The thirteenth brother has just joined the royal family, and he naturally has a lot of entertainment, so he can be busy with his own affairs first, and there is no need to be so polite. Xuan Zhen said calmly.

"There should be a number of courtesies, but there must still be one. ”

Ning Chen said softly, "The thirteenth brother came late, and I hope the imperial brother won't be surprised." ”

"My own brother, there is no need to say this. ”

Xuan Zhen responded, "You are temporarily living in the mansion of the Nine Emperor Uncles, do you have anything you need, if you have, just tell the imperial brother." ”

"The Third Emperor Brother and the Seventh Emperor Brother have already sent a lot of things, and now, there is nothing missing. Ning Chen said with a smile.

Xuan Zhen nodded and said, "Brother Huang is busy with court affairs these days, and he hasn't had time to visit, I wonder if the Nine Emperor Uncles are okay?"

"Master, everything is fine, thank you for your concern. Ning Chen responded.

While the two were talking, outside the Prince's Mansion, the five princes walked over, and when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, their footsteps suddenly stopped.

"There are guests?" the fifth prince asked, looking at the guards in front of the mansion.

"The Fifth Highness, the Thirteenth Highness is in the mansion. The guard replied respectfully.

"Old Thirteen?"

When the fifth prince heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, why did he come.

"Fifth Highness, my subordinates will go in and report. ”

In front of the mansion, the guard spoke.

"I don't need to report it, I'll just enter it myself. ”

After speaking, the five princes did not say anything more, and stepped into the prince's mansion.

In the palace, Xuan Zhen looked at the figure coming from outside the hall and said, "Thirteenth brother, your fifth brother is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the fifth prince walked into the hall, first saluted the master of the prince's mansion, and then looked at the young figure on the side, and said with a smile, "Thirteenth brother, we meet again." ”

"I've seen the Five Emperor Brothers. ”

Ning Chen got up and saluted.

"You're welcome. ”

The fifth prince smiled and said, "I've always wanted to visit the thirteenth brother's mansion, but I've been busy helping the imperial brother deal with political affairs these days, and I haven't been able to find time, but I didn't expect the thirteenth brother to come first." ”

"It should have been the royal brother who came to meet the two royal brothers. Ning Chen said softly.

The fifth prince smiled, didn't say anything more on this topic, looked at the eldest prince on the main seat, and said, "Imperial brother, I have something to report here." ”

"What's the matter?" Hyun Jin asked.

"Last night, there was a fierce battle in the imperial court, and a total of eleven corpses were left at the scene, and judging by their clothes and weapons, they were somewhat similar to the imperial brother's personal guards. The fifth prince said calmly.

"Huh?"

When Xuan Zhen heard this, he frowned lightly and said, "Fifth Emperor Brother, what does this mean?"

"Brother Huang, don't blame, Brother Huang is responsible for the security of the Imperial City, so he is naturally more sensitive, I have sent someone to check the identity of those eleven people, but Brother Huang is here, Brother Huang also needs to check before he can return Brother Huang's innocence. The five princes saluted respectfully and said.

Xuan Zhen quietly looked at the people below, and after a moment, he spoke, "How do you want to check?"

"Please ask the royal brother to gather the guards, how many people are missing, check the list, and you will know. The fifth prince said softly.

Xuan Zhen was silent, then nodded, and said, "There are a few people I sent out to do business a few days ago, and the rest are in the mansion, come with me." ”

After speaking, Xuan Zhen stepped down from the throne and walked towards the outside of the hall step by step.

"Thirteenth brother, come with you. ”

The fifth prince glanced at the figure in front of the guest seat and spoke.

Ning Chen nodded and followed.

In the west courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, on the martial arts field, fists come and go, and it is very lively.

The fierce martial arts scene comparable to the military camp made people's blood gush out, and dozens of men in silver armor practiced against each other, but no one used cultivation, only relying on physical combat.

Bang bang bang, fist to the flesh, fist wind and leg strength, broken mountains and cracked stones.

"Moon Shadow Guard, there have always been only thirty-six people, and now five people go out to do errands, and the remaining thirty-one people are here, this is the list, there is the golden seal of the three emperors on it, you can check the fifth brother. ”

As he spoke, in Xuan Zhen's hand, a piece of rice paper stamped with a gold seal appeared and flew to the former.

The fifth prince stretched out his hand to take the rice paper, glanced at the list on it, and then walked towards the front of the martial arts field.

In the martial arts arena, the thirty-one Moon Shadow Guards saw the comer, stopped the competition, and saluted respectfully.

"See the Fifth Highness!"

"No need to be polite!"

The five princes' eyes swept over everyone and said calmly, "Take out your waist cards, and I'll check them." ”

"Yes!"

The thirty-one Moon Shadow Guards took the jade plaque from their waists one after another, put it in their hands, and waited for inspection.

The five princes stepped forward, looked at the waist cards in everyone's hands one by one, and after comparing them, they nodded, looked at the two people not far away, and said, "That's right, brother, I'm sorry, it's the imperial brother who is rude." ”

"Where is the duty of the fifth brother, what should be done. ”

Xuan Zhen responded lightly and said, "Thirteenth brother, can you dispel your suspicions now?"

Hearing this, Ning Chen smiled lightly and said, "The imperial brother has never suspected that this matter was done by the imperial brother. ”

"Oh?"

Xuan Zhen's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said, "Didn't the thirteenth brother come today to ask about the sin of Xingshi?"

Brother Huang laughed. ”

Ning Chen shook his head in denial, and said, "I left the mansion yesterday, it was really a whim, if I didn't get the news for the first time, and I wanted to take this opportunity to arrange assassins, it would be too late, so the eldest imperial brother who has never been to the Nine Shadows Royal Mansion is actually the most unlikely person, even if he wants to ask the master for guilt, it is impossible for the imperial brother to come to find the eldest imperial brother." ”

On the side, when the five princes heard this, they were surprised, it seemed that they were underestimating this thirteenth brother.

"Mingren doesn't say dark words, thirteenth brother, since you are not here to ask for guilt, then you might as well explain your intentions. Xuan Zhen said calmly.

"The imperial brother said when he came, I am only here to visit the imperial brother, and there is no other purpose. Ning Chen smiled.

"Why?"

Xuan Zhen said lightly, "I think the thirteenth brother should not have a good impression of me, the eldest brother." ”

"Definitely. ”

Ning Chen didn't hide it, and said calmly, "Although what Xuan Xuan did was not the fault of the eldest imperial brother, after all, the eldest imperial brother and Xuan Xuan were siblings, and it was impossible for the imperial brother to do nothing without happening." ”

"If I say that Xuan Xuan has nothing to do with me, does the thirteenth brother believe it?" Xuan Zhen said indifferently.

"Faith!"

Ning Chen nodded and said, "Everyone in the royal family knows that there is almost no intersection between the eldest brother and Xuan Xuan, however, the brothers and sisters will always be the brothers and sisters, and the eldest brother will never really stay out of the matter at any time, even if the eldest brother wants to completely clear up, the Eight Desolation Demon Emperor will not allow it." ”

"It seems that the thirteenth brother can see it more clearly than anyone else. ”

Xuan Zhen's expression became serious, this is also the reason why he did not go to the Nine Shadows Palace, one day when his father was there, it was impossible for the thirteenth brother to choose to take refuge in him.

"To tell the truth, among the three princes, the one that the royal brother admires the most is not Xuan Qing or Xuan Ling, but the eldest imperial brother, it's a pity. Ning Chen sighed softly.

Xuan Zhen looked at the person in front of him and said calmly, "Thirteenth brother, who do you think did last night's assassination?"

Ning Chen smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is that his purpose is not me, but the Great Emperor Brother, otherwise he would not deliberately use the weapons and martial arts commonly used by the Moon Shadow Guard." ”

"Doesn't the thirteenth brother want to find out the murderer for his assassination?" Xuan Zhen frowned.

"At the feet of the Demon Emperor, he still dares to act so boldly, even if he finds out, as long as he doesn't admit it himself, the imperial brother can't help him, in this case, why should I bother to do so much, eldest brother, do you say yes?" Ning Chen smiled.

"The wisdom of the thirteenth brother is admired by the imperial brother. Xuan Zhen sighed.

"If you want to survive, you can't be too stupid, although the royal brother is not talented, he doesn't want to be used to eradicate the opponent. Ning Chen said softly.

A pun on the words made Xuan Zhen silent, it is true, Xuan Ling or Xuan Qing wanted to use the thirteenth brother to frame him, and he wanted to use the thirteenth brother to fight back, but unfortunately, their thirteenth brother was too smart, and they could use it if they wanted to.

"Brother Emperor, Brother Five, these days, there are many things in the house, so the Emperor Brother will not stay longer, and he will leave first. ”

Ning Chen saluted with a smile on his face, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the former leaving, Xuan Ling's expression became solemn, what a thirteenth brother, today for a while, it really impressed him.

"Brother, what is the purpose of the Thirteenth Elder here?" the Fifth Prince frowned slightly and asked.

"Warning, and demonstration. ”

Xuan Ling Zhengse said, "He may have guessed who instructed yesterday's incident, and he came here to give that person a warning, and in addition, he demonstrated to me, the eldest imperial brother." ”

He admitted that the amount of the old thirteen was indeed beyond expectations, which made him have to be more cautious, but it also strengthened his determination to go out of this person.

The great threat that cannot be used by him must be eliminated with the force of thunder, otherwise, one day, it will become a disaster.

Outside the eldest prince's mansion, Ning Chen walked out, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his gaze at the imperial city became more and more cold.

His weight, the eldest prince, you are immeasurable!
