Bai Qianye caught a glimpse of a figure in the corridor in front of him, obviously it should be waiting for him, but the figure was not very familiar, and he vaguely felt that it should be someone from the previous envoys.

"It turned out to be you", Bai Qianye looked at the figure waiting for him, and then smiled, "Do you need to find a place to talk?"

"That's not necessary", the figure bowed slightly, and then said, "Your Majesty, the environment here is very good, just be here." ”

"Briefly introduce myself, my name is Liu Che, the eldest grandson of the current emperor of the Han Empire. ”

Saying this, Liu Che slowly stroked Bai Qianye's chest and saluted, "Your Majesty is good." ”

"Don't dare to be, I'm not an emperor in the real sense yet. Bai Qianye also used the same etiquette: "I know the character of Liu Huangsun, during the previous war between the East and the West, Liu Huangsun also proposed to send troops to the Gulf of Aden to help us defend the city, I haven't had time to thank you for this matter, please don't be surprised." ”

"You're welcome. Liu Che deserved to be a person with extraordinary spirit, and only smiled indifferently when he heard this: "If Your Excellency doesn't want to claim to be the emperor, of course I hope to have a relaxed conversation with Your Excellency." ”

"It's a great honor," Bai Qianye said with a smile: "Imperial grandson, have you ever sat on this railing? On the one hand, you will get rest, and on the other hand, you will be worried about being seen, and it is really refreshing to occasionally violate the rules of the palace." ”

"Of course I know, I also grew up in the court, and when I was a child, I was known as a harem destroyer. Liu Che leaned on the fence without pretentiousness: "Because later, the emperor's younger brothers and sisters gradually increased, and they had to set an example for that group of little bandits, so they had to follow the rules." ”

"Really?" Bai Qianye laughed: "The first time I saw the emperor's grandson, I think you are not like this!"

"I'm not surprised", Liu Che's gaze turned into the distance: "When I saw you for the first time, I was really surprised, I really didn't expect that you are not only talented in martial arts cultivation, but also use diplomatic means freely, so I have mixed feelings in my heart, although you are still slightly deficient, but Your Excellency has done a really good job." ”

After a moment of silence, Bai Qianye replied with a wry smile and said, "Prince, this is not what I want. If I had a choice, I'd rather be that boy who doesn't know the sky. ”

"That's impossible. Liu Che shook his head and said: "If you are an emperor for one day, you can't avoid this fate for the rest of your life." ”

Bai Qianye's gaze moved to Liu Che's face, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I now know it's my destiny. Bai Qianye nodded: "I have such an arrogant character, it is definitely not a good thing to be in other positions, this position without a boss seems to be very suitable for me." ”

"But this position is more dangerous and difficult than others, are you ready for everything?" The smile on Liu Che's face gradually faded: "To put it mildly, it seems too reluctant to become an emperor at Your Excellency's age. ”

"I know", Bai Qianye smiled slightly: "Could it be that in the eyes of the emperor and grandson, this throne is not worth his own painstaking management?"

"I'm not fit to be the emperor!" the prince shook his head: "Although I am in the position of the emperor's eldest grandson, there is still my father's generation above, so it is really not my turn to think about this issue." ”

"That's right, you are only the grandson of the Han Empire, and you are not the heir to the throne. If Your Excellency is the heir of the Emperor of the Han Empire, I will inevitably confront you. Bai Qianye smiled: "I think, we don't want this to happen, right?"

"Your Excellency is clear-headed, and not as it is rumored. Liu Che was not surprised by Bai Qianye's frank and almost reckless words: "Should I be happy! or should I be worried?"

"Should I feel fortunate to be a wise emperor and grandson in a neighboring empire, or should I be wary?" Bai Qianye tilted his head slightly: "On the one hand, the presence of such a character makes me feel that I am not alone, and on the other hand, the person who can detect my intentions makes me feel uneasy. ”

"Your Excellency, are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?" Liu Che asked rhetorically: "Are you referring to the matter of iron mines? If I don't agree quickly, the following request will definitely make me more embarrassed, right?"

"Of course, for now, it's just about iron ore. Bai Qianye nodded: "In the days to come, Your Excellency will definitely see through more of my tricks." ”

"If it's something that doesn't concern my country, I'd rather be silent. Liu Che sighed and stood up: "There are many things, in fact, we don't have to take them to heart, for anyone, life is only once!"

"Although such a chance is slim, I still have to say, Your Royal Highness, we should never meet on the battlefield, I am not willing to face an opponent like you. ”

"If we all try to avoid it, I don't think that situation will happen", Liu Che made a gesture: "Your Majesty, farewell." ”

"Say goodbye and see you tomorrow. ”

It was an ordinary early morning.

Outside the window, the faint residual fog had thinned, and the skin could feel the clammy air flow slowly passing by. A faint ray of sunlight pierced through the early morning mist and into the small garden. The buds curled up in the night are quietly stretching the petals, and on the leaves of the flowers and plants, the crystal dew that is gradually forming is reflecting the brilliance of this golden light...... It's all the same as any other morning.

It was also a special early morning.

As soon as the bell rang to open the city, a group of Royal Guard soldiers wearing armor and robes walked out of dozens of camps, and in the sound of neat footsteps, their figures gradually filled the streets and alleys of the city. As soon as the bell that echoed over the city ended, the gate of Fengdu was slowly opened, and the army was also assembled outside the city gate, with swords and guns, clothes and armor in order, and there were twenty phalanxes!

Through the cracks in the doors and windows, the residents of Fengdu are observing all this, and now the residents who live in the city are honored to participate in this special festival. Most of them stayed up all night, dressed in festive costumes early, waiting for the curfew to be lifted.

In the palace, several civil officials looked nervous by the timer, and checked the official documents in their hands for the last time.

The soul energy infused in the timer flowed slowly in the transparent circular pipe, and the soul crystal at the bottom was constantly changing color due to the influence of energy. When the soul crystals under all the timers turned pure sky blue, an official staring at the water leak said, "It's time." ”

"It's time. Several officials looked at each other and nodded to indicate that it was okay.
