A few days later, in the imperial capital, the arrival of Lan Jiu and his party also happened to be the day of the great victory of the First Army.

Lan Jiu's eyes raised slightly, looking at the flowers around him, but his heart was also extremely sighing. Unconsciously murmured, "It's really, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!"

In fact, it is somewhat inappropriate to say this at this time. Murong Yunfan, as the ruler of the imperial capital, is naturally powerful. And whether it is Li Yixiang, Xi Tianming or A Ke, they were all born in a big family, and their families have a big business, and listening to Lan Jiu's words, they are naturally extremely harsh.

Murong Yunfan's eyes contained a hint of a smile, and he said in a low voice, "The polarization of wealth is serious, and the main reason is not in our country... The more you give, the more resources you can enjoy, just like the social status of a cultivator is far above that of ordinary people... The people who can live in the imperial capital are not simply rich and noble families, but basically people who have contributed to the empire and even sacrificed their lives for generations. These people are heroes of the Empire, so why don't they deserve the respect and preferential treatment of the Empire?"

Murong Yunfan's words, Lan Jiu could naturally understand, his eyes raised, and he laughed in a low voice, "Master Hou, I don't know what we plan to do now?"

"Hehe, enter the palace, today the army returns to Beijing, the banquet to celebrate the achievement tastes good, don't you want to taste it?" Murong Yunfan smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "Hehe, yes, since the three of you have returned to the imperial capital, you don't have to follow me all the time... Let's go back to our own family, and in three days, we'll gather together!"

As the words fell, the other three nodded and walked off into the distance. And Lan Jiu followed Murong Yunfan, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the depths of the street corner.

The story has to be traced back to a few days ago, when Lan Jiu got his wish and won the position of deputy general of the Fourth Army in one fell swoop. Originally, according to the route, Lan Jiu and the others should continue to go to the Third Army and the Second Army to gain trust and support, but it coincided with the victory of the main army, so Murong Yunfan changed the original plan.

In fact, this is the best outcome today. Murong Yunfan said that the support of the second and third armies was dispensable, and the reason was not clearly stated.

Among the imperial palaces of the Empire, resplendent gold is the main color here. Not only that, the majestic and exquisite beauty are cleverly combined, this huge building that can accommodate 10,000 people can be regarded as the most spectacular and luxurious building that Lan Jiu has ever seen.

Murong Yunfan smiled and walked inside, and the guards on the side did not stop him for the slightest. In fact, for a banquet of this level, there is no need to search anything. After all, cultivators still occupy a large part of the crowd that comes and goes, and for cultivators, even if they don't use weapons, they can exert extremely strong destructive power.

"Marquis Murong has arrived!" The people who greeted him on the side also cheered.

The imperial capital has always been a place with clear hierarchies, and although there are many marquis, they all have some suffixes. Only Murong Yunfan, the second master of the imperial capital and the second person in power, will be directly called Murong Marquis.

This greeting made the people in the lobby stunned for a moment, and then they nodded to Murong Yunfan one after another. The people who can appear here are all the overlords of the imperial capital, and they naturally have no less understanding of Murong Yunfan, this Hou Ye, no one wants to offend.

Along the way, everyone also consciously stood on both sides, making a way for Murong Yunfan.

Murong Yunfan is also a smart person, so he naturally nodded his head. Then he took Lan Jiu, and the two of them walked forward, among the imperial capital, there were not many people who were really qualified to talk to him, so he was ready to go directly to the main master.

Sure enough, Murong Han, the king of the imperial capital, was already waiting there with a smile, watching Murong Yunfan come over, but he greeted him with a smile. Laughing and saying, "Haha, I didn't expect my brother to come at such a good time? I just held this celebration banquet, and you came over!"

Lan Jiu could see that Murong Han's smile was very real, and it was obvious that he really liked and trusted Murong Yunfan.

His eyes also slowly looked behind Murong Han, but he saw three teenagers standing there. Lan Jiu also had a general understanding in his heart, it was the three princes of the imperial capital, and after these three people, there should be a royal sister, and for some reason, he was not present today.

Murong Yunfan also smiled and said, "What did the imperial brother say? Didn't I hear that you led the First Army to a great victory, so I came to congratulate you?"

"Haha, so that's the case! I heard that you have also won two big victories, brother!" Murong Han said with a smile, "First in the territory of the Fourth Army, cut off its grain and grass, slaughter its king, and then go to the Ninth Army to kill a demon king, and at the same time easily kill the demon army of 100,000 people, this victory is not lighter than mine!"

Murong Han's words were naturally humble. Before coming, Murong Yunfan briefly introduced that what Murong Han achieved was a victory on the frontal battlefield, and there were not a few demon kings who died in this war, and the demon clan soldiers and generals also suffered a lot of losses, but at the same time, there were also a lot of losses of human beings.

Murong Yunfan lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, giving up a position, leaking out of Lan Jiu behind him. He said with a smile, "Brother Huang, these victories are not my achievements, mainly thanks to this young man... Lan Jiu, the second person in charge of the Magician Association, the heir of Lan Sikui, entrusted by Lan Lao, is now half of my apprentice. Now that he is in the position of deputy general of the Fourth Army and the Ninth Army, what does the imperial brother think?"

Murong Han's gaze wandered on Lan Jiu for a moment, then a look of praise flashed, and he laughed in a low voice, "Not bad, Lan Lao's heir, is indeed a heroic boy, it is really magnificent!"

"Sanpin General Lan Jiu, knock on the king!" Lan Jiu naturally knew that it was time for him to stand up at this time.

Murong Han's gaze lifted slightly, and he said with a little majesty, "Haha, since today is a celebration wine, don't be so restrained... Haha, you and Kong'er are the same age, so naturally they have a lot of topics in common, so you can communicate more, so you don't have to go around the two old men!"

Murong Han's words were very clear, and he was naturally chasing the four of them to play at the same time. He and Murong Yunfan had some private things to communicate, so naturally they didn't want a group of juniors to stay by their side.

At this time, the means of communication between the nobles were naturally revealed. First of all, the eldest prince Murong Kong, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his palm made a gesture of invitation, guiding Lan Jiu to the side. Then he chuckled and said, "General Lan is really a young hero, he has achieved such a rank at a young age, but he is envious of the three of us, haha!"

Lan Jiu arched his hand and said with a chuckle, "The eldest prince is praised, how can I, a martial artist, be with the three of them? I heard that the three princes, at a young age, are now considered to be full of achievements, but they are admired!"

The second prince and the third prince were also not to be outdone, and hurriedly said with a smile, "General Lan is a descendant of the Magicians Association, so the magic strength must also be extremely strong!"

Lan Jiu nodded, not denying it. Murong Yunfan brought him to this kind of public place so early, in fact, the meaning is obvious, it is to increase his worth. If Lan Jiu wants to get more military power, he must be able to stand in this imperial capital.

At this time, the approach of the three princes is also reasonable.

First, Lan Jiu is the heir of Lan Sikui of the Magician Association, although the Magician Association has fallen a lot, but Yu Wei is still there, and he is still very influential in this continent.

Second, he is young and is already a third-grade general. He also won the position of deputy general of the Fourth Army and the Ninth Army, although the Ninth Army is average, but Li Xiaofeng of the Fourth Army is the master who does not even pay attention to the three of them. Lan Jiu can win the position of deputy general, not just relying on Murong Yunfan, his personal ability must be very strong.

Third, and more importantly, Murong Han will abdicate one day, and the next king of the empire will inevitably be produced among the three. But the current power and prestige of these three can only be described as evenly matched, so they are all eager to bring Lan Jiu under their own command. Although Lan Jiu alone could not affect the overall situation, it was Murong Yunfan standing behind him, who was in charge of the Hou Ye but now Murong Han's most trusted person, and he was also the second-in-command of the imperial capital and even the entire empire.

And between the conversations of several people, Murong Han and Murong Yunfan on the other side were also chatting happily.

Murong Han picked up a glass of wine, his gaze wandered over Lan Jiu for a moment, and then looked at Murong Yunfan with a smile. He asked in a low voice, "Brother, with my understanding of you." I guess you brought him here suddenly, definitely not hoping to be familiar, right?"

Murong Yunfan smiled and said in a low voice, "What did the imperial brother say, didn't I do this to share the worries of the imperial brother? What's more, Lan Jiu suffered the hatred of exterminating the clan, and it was impossible for him to complete the plan in his heart with his own strength, and he also hoped to use the strength of the empire to carry out crazy revenge on the demon clan!"

"Oh, are you worried?" Murong Han didn't care about the second half of the sentence, but asked with a smile, "I don't know this sentence, how should I say it?"

Murong Yunfan gently picked up a stack of fruit plates, which were cleverly placed with three cherries and a strawberry. But he only heard Murong Yunfan chuckle and said, "Brother Huang is in a high position, what worries, in fact, each of us knows very well... As for me coming to him, it's actually just two words, restriction... Haha, it's weird, you can only mean that you can't say it, you can't say it, you can't say it!"

Although it is simple, with Murong Han's thoughts, he can naturally understand. The two of them touched their wine glasses and laughed, and the air was filled with a hint of treachery.
