When the golden wuxi was sinking, the twilight was thick, and another night came, Chang'an City, which had been noisy for a day, finally gradually returned to calm.

Although Chang'an is on high ground and surrounded by water, it still can't resist the invasion of the midsummer heat, even if the breeze gusts, the heat after night has not subsided much.

This is the second night of the retreat that began on the west terrace of Weiyang Palace. The thick palace gate separates the inside and outside, and the high palace walls are heavily guarded, and many unpredictable things are breeding in this dark night. Maybe some fateful grievances are inevitable after all, even if some people try their best to resolve them as much as possible, but it turns out that people's hearts are like the sea, and they are the most unpredictable! What should happen, will happen.

A large mansion located in Dongcheng District is the former residence of the princes and kings of the Liu family. This area, which occupies several streets, was also a place of wind and rain in the past years. But now, the scenery is long gone.

With the transfer of Chang'an's economic center, the most prosperous area now is, of course, the part of Xicheng bounded by Suzaku Street, which runs through the north and south. There are almost all the world's merchants set up in Chang'an, most of the shops and shops, the degree of prosperity is the highest in the world, driving the development of the entire Chang'an, Guanzhong, and Weibei areas.

However, although the former princely residences of Dongcheng are no longer prominent in the early years, they are still the place where many people pay attention. There is no other reason, but in recent years, some princely forces have created foundations in overseas lands, re-emerged, and established close ties with many industries in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and gradually have a tendency to roar.

The eyes cast here naturally come from different directions and different forces. Whether it is with vigilance or with the purpose of approaching, everyone who wants to associate with the owner of this place is unusually cautious. After all, the complex relationship between the princes and the Han royal family makes people have to be cautious.

The Huainan Palace, which is in the middle of this large mansion, was the place where Liu An, the king of Huainan, temporarily lived when he came to Chang'an in the past years. However, since he went overseas a few years ago, he has not been to Chang'an once.

Among these dozens of princely mansions, in fact, some have already been sealed by Emperor Liu Che himself. Those were some of the kings who had been severely punished for their sins during these years. And the Huainan Wang's Mansion is naturally not among them.

Since he was young, he admired this imperial uncle's knowledge very much, and once consulted him seriously. Although later due to the needs of imperial power, there were several confrontations between Weiyang Palace and Huainan in the open, but in general, since Liu An, the king of Huainan, bowed his head under the "Tui En Order", willingly handed over the authority of the entire Huainan and allowed the imperial court to take back most of the financial power, Emperor Liu Che's attitude towards him was obviously more tolerant, and he never further suspected and persecuted.

And after a few years, in the eyes of discerning people, Liu An, the king of Huainan, has long stopped caring about the place in Huainan. Even if several princes followed the edict of Tui En and redivided their respective fiefdoms, he did not ask again.

"With the Kunpeng spreading its wings in the East China Sea, how can this prince care about the place of the Huainan projectile!"

This is the current evaluation of Liu An, the king of Huainan, when many people talk about it. Although it is biased, it is estimated that his mind speculation is also eight or nine.

I heard that this time in Chang'an, the king of Huainan and several other princes were also among them. This can't help but make many people in the government and the opposition who have dealt with him look forward to it. After all, legends are legends after all, and what kind of situation is going on beyond the East China Sea still needs to be told by this famous prince himself in order to believe it completely.

The old residence in Chang'an has been silent for many years, and it is finally lively again. Many people who have been in contact with each other in the past inevitably come to inquire about the news in advance to see when the prince will arrive.

There are already many people stationed in the palace of Huainan, and they are all from the old Huainan Department from outside the East China Sea. Among them are Wu Bei, who is said to be the mastermind of the King of Huainan, and Su Fei, the general of the Navy.

It was the two of them who came forward to entertain the guests these days. And the legendary lord of Huainan who also came to Chang'an, but no one has ever seen him. This inevitably made some people with gossipy hearts go home in a huff and are greatly disappointed.

The night is darker, and the lights are gradually turning on. Liu Shu, the county lord of Huainan who has been speculating from the outside world, was dressed in a strong suit and equipped with a short sword at this time, and in the hall, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.

A few years passed, and the dust of the years did not seem to leave any traces on her face. It is still graceful, and the country is fragrant. The only difference may be that compared with before, the more mature and charming look has added a touch of perseverance.

Everyone who came in couldn't help but be a little surprised to see their own county lord dressed like this with his makeup off. But it was only a flash, and then after all of them saluted respectfully, they stood aside, guessing her behavior.

The person who had been standing behind Liu Shu, there were already a few wisps of vicissitudes between his eyebrows, seeing that the people were gradually arriving, and the firm expression on the woman's face did not change in the slightest, he sighed silently, and finally swallowed back the words that he wanted to persuade again.

If there is a character in the rivers and lakes here, you will be surprised to see this person's face clearly. No one would have thought that the "Sword God" Lei Quilt, who had disappeared for several years, would appear here. And he stood behind Liu Shu, the lord of Huainan County, with a retinue.

There was a hint of worry in Lei Fu's gaze. Since he was defeated by Yuan Zhao a few years ago, he willingly promised to go to the East China Sea and serve the county lord by his side, and he has never slackened off for half a point. This is not only to repay the past feelings, but also to fulfill the promises promised.

The fate of some people and some things in the world is such a coincidence, although Lei was defeated by Yuan Zhao's hands and his cultivation was greatly damaged, but it was in that battle that he realized a deeper realm in martial arts. In the subsequent wave of the East China Sea, the perception deepened, and finally broke through the bottleneck and went to the next level!

Lei was both surprised and admired by Yuan Zhao in his heart. Although the other party may be unintentional, he has benefited a lot and cannot but reciprocate. Therefore, in the past few years, he has been willing to serve Liu Shu by his side, and in the waves of the East China Sea, he has firmly protected her and not let her be hurt in the slightest.

This time I came to Chang'an, I thought it was just an easy trip. Unexpectedly, a sudden change happened at an unexpected time.

Huainan's relationship network in Chang'an should not be underestimated. Although there is no use in the past few years, the elite forces that have been lurking for many years are still there. Since the county lord has come to Chang'an, any wind and grass will be collected and analyzed in detail, for fear that there will be unfavorable places for the county lord.

What happened on Changle Hill last night and the scene outside the West City Gate of Chang'an this morning, such a big movement naturally can't escape their ears and eyes, including the movements in Weiyang Palace, in less than half a day, they have been sorted out in detail and then sent to Mr. Wu Bei's hands.

Wu was shocked when he received the report. It was about Yuan Zhao, and he naturally didn't dare to be the slightest bit sloppy. After thinking about it for a while, he came to the backyard where the county lord was, and reported the beginning and end of the matter and his own analysis to Liu Shu in detail.

The woman who was teaching the little child to draw raised her head, and her eyebrows were already slightly moving. Her current identity is no longer the willful county lord, but the queen of the sea who oversees the entire Thousand Islands in the East China Sea and commands hundreds of ships in place of her father!

However, at this moment, the person who heard that she was waiting for her return was so unreasonably humiliated, even if she had experienced the test of the huge waves of the East China Sea and became extremely firm, she couldn't help but be angry for a while.

Although Wu was persuaded by Wu and Lei Shou, she still made a decision. Tonight, gather everyone who came to Chang'an and go to the Jiumen Soldiers and Horses Station, and she will personally pick him up!

"County Lord, this matter involves a lot, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to act so arbitrarily......."

"Mr. Wu doesn't need to say any more. The reason why I want to do this is because of selfishness, and righteousness! Didn't you hear some rumors circulating in Chang'an? Today's son will soon be patrolling the world, and it is very likely that he will visit the East China Sea in person to visit the fairy mountain...... What exactly does this mean? Could it be that with the wisdom of Mr., he will not be able to guess it! ”

Liu Shu's eyes flashed. Although the effort was suppressed, the dissatisfaction and anger revealed in the tone could be heard by everyone. Since Huainan has chosen to give in, handed over the rights and interests of Emperor Gaozu, went overseas to work hard, and created this foundation with his own efforts and sacrifices, why did the emperor in Weiyang Palace try to snatch it? If it really comes to this point at that time, whether it is induced by people or the will of the emperor himself, it will definitely not be convincing.

Wu was sighed, of course he understood the stakes. Ever since hearing this unconfirmed news, he has been sleepless at night, and has thought of many countermeasures, but none of them are good ones. Perhaps, there is only one person in this world who can solve this problem, so Yuan Zhao must not have any mistakes!

Thinking of this, Wu was finally nodding. He mobilized all more than 300 people, all of whom were capable forces in Huainan, led by Su Fei, and the purpose of this time was to go all out to rob Changle Hou Yuanzhao from the Beida camp at all costs. Just tonight, for the sake of the future of the East China Sea, and in order to repay the kindness of the prince and the county lord, I will fight to the death and never look back!

"Let's go! You take care of Lin'er's ....... ”

The woman in a black suit took one last look at the sleeping child, and gave a faint order to several henchmen. Then he held the swordfish intestine in his hand and went away.

The fish intestine sword, this is the token of love he gave her back then. For him tonight, he will not hesitate to stain his blood and be prosperous again!
