Chapter Seventy-One: The Imperial Capital (Houshan)
In the autumn weather, like a naughty child, it is hot and cold.
In the morning, the sun was still shining, but in the afternoon, the sky was full of dark clouds, as if it was about to rain at any moment.
In a remote place on the lower left side of the imperial capital, a mansion that looked magnificent on the outside was sitting, surrounded by the homes of ordinary people, and in front of the entrance of the mansion stood four young men, one in front of them, and three points behind the man.
The four people who were covered by dark clouds felt a little chill with the cold wind blowing from time to time.
"I said, are we in the wrong place? This place is so remote, how can he live here as a prince?" Wei Xuan asked suspiciously, looking around.
The emperor also looked around, his expression revealing a little guilt.
"My seventh brother, since he was a child, he can't get used to you fighting in the palace, and he doesn't like those rights and wrongs, so he asked to find another mansion, I promised him at that time, but I didn't expect him to come here" After speaking, the emperor whispered: "Seventh brother, I'm sorry for you......"
"So you've never been here before?" asked Wusheng.
When the emperor heard Wusheng ask, the corner of his eyes shook twice unconsciously.
"Yes, I've only heard of this place, and today is the first time I'......ve been here," said the emperor.
"How do you feel that the relationship between the two of you brothers is not very good?" Wusheng said.
"This matter has to start from the reign of my father, my father did not have a total of eight princes, I ranked third, the queen mother gave birth to two princes, one is me, the other is the seventh brother, among the eight princes, the father and the emperor love me the most, so the crown prince on the throne handed over to me, several other princes disobeyed the decision of the father, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fifth brother actually had the heart of rebellion, in a hunting time, the father took our seven brothers out, because the eighth brother is still young, so he stayed in the palace, I didn't expect the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fifth brother have already planned, and actually openly rebelledFortunately, I, the fourth brother, and the sixth brother and the seventh brother of our brothers desperately protected the father, and then someone in the palace came to the rescue, which subdued those who rebelled, the eldest brother, the second brother and the fifth brother were brought back to the palace, and the father tearfully killed them, but the fourth brother and the sixth brother were also stabbed to death by a knife when escorting, and the eight sons of the father were left with me and the seventh brother and the eighth brother, and the father also couldn't sleep because he couldn't bear the betrayal of his son, and he couldn't take care of the country's affairs, so the father passed the throne to me, and soon the father died unwillingly, the seventh brother also moved here because he didn't want to be in those rights and wrongs anymore, and it was because of this that I made him responsible for the safety of the imperial capital, so that he would not have to worry about those trivial matters" The emperor said with tears shining in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to go through so much, so hearing you say this, the Seventh Prince should have a good relationship with you," Wusheng said.
"Maybe it's because of this incident that the seventh brother was disappointed......" The emperor said helplessly.
"I think we'd better go in first, it's useless to talk about this here now," Devil May Cry said.
"Well, let's see the Seventh Prince first, but how come there are no guards in this Prince's Mansion?" Wei Xuan asked suspiciously, looking at the empty door.
Seeing this, Devil May Cry stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
"Excuse me, anyone?" Devil May Cry shouted loudly.
"Coming, coming......" A man's voice came from inside the door.
The door was opened.
"Who are you looking for?" the man asked, looking at Devil Weep, confused.
"We're looking for the Seventh Prince," Devil May Cry said politely.
"Our seventh prince is not in the mansion, if you have anything, just tell me, and I will tell the prince when I turn around," the next person said.
Seeing this, the emperor stepped forward.
"Where did the seventh brother go?"
"Bold, what kind of person are you, only the emperor in this world can call us the seventh prince and the seventh brother, you dare to be so rude, hurry up, otherwise the consequences will be very serious" The next person heard the emperor call the seventh prince and closed the door sternly.
Seeing this, Devil May Cry knocked on the door again.
"I said, are you alive enough, let you go and can't hear......" The man opened the door again and said loudly.
"This little brother, you misunderstood, we have an important matter to find the Seventh Prince, please let us in" Devil May Cry still said politely.
"Little Lizi, what's so noisy?" suddenly came a woman's voice from inside the door.
"Back to the princess, a few troublemakers, the slave and maid will drive them away," the man turned back and said respectfully to the woman.
The emperor looked inside through the crack in the door and found that the woman who was walking over was his brother and sister.
"Brother and sister, I am the emperor's brother, I have something to do with the seventh brother," the emperor hurriedly said loudly.
The man looked at the emperor with a surprised face when he heard the emperor say this.
After a while the woman came to the door and opened it.
"The Emperor...... Brother Huang?" the woman said as she looked at the emperor in surprise.
"Brother and sister, what about the seventh brother? I have something to do with him," said the emperor.
"You...... How did you come here?" the woman asked in surprise.
"I came to find the seventh brother on purpose," the emperor said.
"He's not at home, you...... What are you looking for him?" the woman asked nervously.
"Brother and sister, why are you so nervous? The seventh brother is not at home, so where has he gone? He hasn't been in office recently?" the emperor asked.
"I don't know, I don't know anything, you can go," the woman said, becoming more and more nervous.
"Brother and sister, what are you?...... Okay, I'm leaving......" The emperor wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, so he had to reluctantly turn around and prepare to leave.
"We're going back like this, but we haven't seen the Seventh Prince yet!" Wusheng asked as he looked at the emperor.
"Let's go, let's go back first......" The emperor said helplessly.
The four of them prepared to leave with a disappointed face.
"Wait......" the woman suddenly stopped them.
"What's the matter, brother and sister?" the emperor immediately turned to look at the woman and asked.
"If you really want to see him, I'll tell you where he is," the woman said, her expression particularly flustered.
"That's great, brother and sister, where is my seventh brother?" said the emperor excitedly.
"He's on the back hill, and you can find him by walking along the mountain road," the woman said.
"Why is he going to the back mountain?" asked the emperor suspiciously.
"You'll know when you go, okay, I've said everything I need to say, you can leave......" The woman turned around and closed her eyes trembling slightly.
"Great, let's go then," Wusheng said.
"Don't you think the woman is talking weird?" Devil May Cry said.
"Whatever, let's find the Seventh Lord first to discuss the big thing," Wei Xuan said.
"Hmm"
The four of them began to walk towards the back mountain.
The four of them came to the foot of the back mountain and looked up at the top of the mountain, which was several hundred meters high and had an oval shape.
The four of them began to walk up the hill, and after walking for half an hour, a flat ground appeared in front of them, and the flat ground was covered with all kinds of military equipment, knives, swords, guns, hammers, bars, and shelves...... In the air.
"What the hell is this Seventh Lord doing? This is obviously a training camp!" Wusheng said.
"yes, what the hell is he planning?" Wei Xuan said.
"But why isn't there any?" said Wusheng in confusion.
"Look, there's a hole in there," Devil May Cry said, pointing to the hole under a cliff at the very front of the flatland.
The four of them began to cautiously come to the entrance of the cave, which was brightly lit and there was a faint sound of people talking.
The four of them took a few more steps inside against the wall, and only then did they hear the situation inside.
"Brothers, this king has just said so much, just to let the brothers know that we are going to die for a lifetime, but ...... Even if we die, we have to be valuable, now the emperor is unreasonable, the courtiers are incompetent, and the people's lives are miserable, these days the brothers can train together, this time, whether we succeed or fail, we must prove to the world that we are good men who are upright and will not bow to the evil forces, do the brothers have confidence?" said a man standing at the front.
"Yes...... Yes...... There are ......," the people below shouted in unison.
"Did I say he misunderstood you?" asked the emperor without a life.
"I finally know what the seventh brother wants to do," the emperor said, looking at the person at the front.
"Who is it?" the man seemed to hear movement on Wusheng's side, and said loudly as he looked at Wusheng's side.
