Chapter 318: Xu Tianchen's Past
City Lord? Yechen said in disbelief.
With such a dangerous position in Tianfeng City, it can be said to be the lifeblood of the entire Sun and Moon Empire's western frontier, and the city lord is a little-known prince.
The key is that this prince is only fifteen years old!
Yechen was very sure that he had heard correctly, although he didn't know why Xu Tianchen was able to become the city lord of Heavenly Wind City, he had already roughly understood the reason why Xu Tianran wanted to get rid of his clan brother in every possible way.
Such an important city, if it is a night hour, will definitely be in his own hands.
However, after all, there are many people at the city gate, and there is a moon guarding the side who does not know the details, and Yechen will not ask rashly.
"Unexpectedly, the reason why he has no fear turned out to be this." Yechen shook his head and quickly followed.
......
Tianfeng City was indeed not in vain, at this time, the sun had just set, and a brightly lit scene appeared in the city.
Yechen followed Xu Tianchen to the center, and everywhere he went, almost every street was overcrowded, and there were countless shops on both sides of the street, and all kinds of soul guide lamps were hung at the door, and the color of prosperity was even worse than that of daytime.
Eventually, after a group of four people turned several streets, a huge courtyard appeared in front of them.
The courtyard occupies an extremely large area, and the highest building in it is only two floors, and the decoration is also extremely luxurious.
Yechen took a general look, and the area of the courtyard was about three thousand square meters, which was almost an incredible thing in Tianfeng City, where space was limited.
There is a wooden plaque hanging above the vermilion gate in front of everyone, on which are written three large characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: City Lord's Mansion.
Looks like this is where they're going to be tonight.
Xu Tianchen paused slightly, and said with a smile: "This is my territory, don't worry, don't talk about this city lord's mansion, as long as it is in Tianfeng City, no one dares to touch us." ”
Although Xu Tianchen had a soft smile in his words, it was not until this moment that the domineering spirit of the superior was shown to him for the first time.
The guards at the door apparently spotted him as well, leaving one of them to say hello, while the other rushed into the house, apparently to make a report.
Facing the guard's greeting, Xu Tianchen waved his hand, signaled the other party to continue on duty, and led the three of Yechen to the mansion.
Stepping into it, Yechen found that there was a hole inside.
The first thing that came into view was a large-scale lake, which did not show any traces of artificial excavation, and apparently existed here before the construction of the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Above the lake, there is an artificial ornamental promenade that leads to the other end of the lake.
There are many buildings scattered around the lake, most of which are functional rooms, real living quarters, at the other end of the lake.
But just this first impression, Yechen was sure that there would definitely be no more comfortable place in Tianfeng City than here.
It's like a microcosm of a small city, but it's still far from a real royal palace.
"Tianchen, ...... are you" Yechen couldn't help but sigh a little.
Xu Tianchen said with a big grin: "As you can see, I am indeed the city lord here. ”
"I don't know, can you tell me why." Even though he knew that it was a bit out of place, Yechen couldn't help but want to know about it, maybe it would help him with his future plans.
Xu Tianchen looked at Yechen, then turned his head to look at the moon, and finally nodded.
Moon didn't seem interested in these things, and without saying a word, she stepped onto the corridor and walked to the other side.
When Xu Tianchen saw this, he sighed lightly: "Alas, there is nothing to hide about this matter, as long as it is a nobleman in the Sun and Moon Empire, basically knows it." As you may have guessed, I am a prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, but my status is not high, and my mother is just an ordinary concubine. ”
"To tell the truth, although my father is a little mediocre, he is not stupid, he knows that my brother is very ambitious, so after setting the other party as the crown prince, he divided the most important cities in the Sun and Moon Empire except for the Ming Capital to several of his sons."
"And I, originally had no chance, but my mother didn't know what method she used to win this Heavenly Wind City for me."
Yechen nodded secretly, he didn't expect it to be like this.
In fact, he regretted asking that sentence, after all, the time of knowing each other is still very short, and this kind of problem already involves people's privacy.
didn't expect the other party to really explain to him, unless the other party really regarded himself as a friend, otherwise he had other purposes.
But Xu Tianchen's performance has always made Yechen more inclined to the former: "I guess this should be the reason for your current situation, right?" ”
Xu Tianchen bowed slightly, and continued: "The things mentioned below have already involved royal secrets, and I can only say things that are clear to the aristocratic circle. Since these cities were divided, my brothers who got the cities have been assassinated one after another, and to this day, all the cities have been reclaimed by my father. ”
"Because I studied in the Sun and Moon Academy, although the other party didn't dare to do anything in the academy, as long as I went out, I would always find someone following me. There have even been a few assassinations, and those people are all necromancers. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Tianchen's tone was a little apologetic: "So I want to apologize to you, I was indeed negligent last time." ”
He didn't go on, and even in the rest of the conversation, there were no specific people involved.
Yechen waved his hand, not caring about these little things.
However, he still had some sighs in his heart, the old emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire had good intentions, but he didn't expect it to become the beginning of the nightmare of his sons.
He knew very well that the Sun Moon Emperor was already seriously ill, and Xu Tianran was slowly taking power into his own hands, and it was normal to kill those princes.
If nothing is expected, Xu Tianchen will definitely end up in the same way in the future, but since he was met by Yechen, he will definitely not let such a thing happen again.
As for whether to support the other party to take the position, it depends on how well it performs in the future.
"Thank you Tianchen for telling me the truth, but I was abrupt, I won't pick out some things, and I will talk about things in the future." Yechen had already made it very clear what he said, and he knew that Xu Tianchen could understand it.
And as a figure like the prince of Shrek Academy, he is not afraid that he will offend people when he says this.
Besides, even if he doesn't cause trouble, won't the other party deal with him?
Therefore, everything still has to speak with strength, and with strength, it is equivalent to having the right to speak.
Xu Tianchen smiled meaningfully: "I understand, let's take you to the room first, and let's go to Tianfeng City for a good look later." ”
In the distance, Yechen saw an old man who looked like a butler, who was hurrying to this side.
Yechen shook his head, but still decided to the other party: "No, we have limited time, we have to hurry tomorrow morning, and if we have enough time when we return, it's not too late to go shopping again." ”
This is indeed the truth, Xu Tianchen did not force this: "There is another problem, we are too calm on the way, I always have a bad premonition, as if the real means are still behind." ”
Yechen nodded, he also had the same hunch, so he had to be extremely careful about the next trip.
