In the Lanyue Empire, there are two centers in the center of Lanyue City.

One is the palace, and the other is the Si family, one east and one west, like two giant beasts watching and helping each other, and looking at each other vigilantly.

The Lan clan and the Si family are the foundation of the Lan Yue Empire, and once the balance between the two is broken, Lan Yue will fall into a chaotic civil war. In addition, after the war between humans and demons a hundred years ago, the Lanyue Empire rose up with the trend and faintly had the momentum of becoming the first empire.

Fortunately, the young man of the Si family proved his innocence and underwent the baptism of holy fire at the risk of his life, which allowed the Si family to get rid of the reputation of traitors and avoid the civil strife of the Si family. But people with a little brain can see that the old emperor is in a coma at high frequency, and this is the time for the change of power.

More than a month has passed since the baptism of the holy fire, and on the birthday of the young master of the Si family, the crown prince Lan Qi held a birthday banquet for the young master of the Si family in the name of appeasing the Si family, and invited high-ranking officials and nobles from all over the country, and even invited special envoys from the other four countries.

Although Si Li wholeheartedly refused, the prince invited him warmly many times, but if he refused too much, he fell into the name of the Si family's inflated and did not give face to the royal family, so he had no choice but to agree. I also want to see what tricks I want to play.

In the past month, Si Li has regained two-thirds of the power one after another, and is rectifying the Lanfeng Auction House that has been closed one after another because of his own accident. On the go. Si Yuanmo was placed under house arrest by him, but it was quite quiet. But with Si Li's understanding of him, the other party could not be so resigned.

The brightly lit palace is resplendent and staggered.

Gorgeous dresses are intertwined, delicate faces are detached smiles, and the places where they pass are extravagant and luxurious, and the dark fragrance floats.

The protagonist of the banquet is standing on an open-air balcony at the moment, leaning on the white jade railing and looking into the distance. His slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was worried about something.

"It turns out that our protagonist is here~" With a gentle chuckle, Prince Lan Qi walked slowly in a gold and blue costume, holding two wine glasses in his hand, with a sincere smile that warmed people's hearts.

Si Li raised his eyes and glanced at it, hooked his lips and smiled faintly, "Your Highness said that you are laughing, with Your Highness here, how can I afford the word protagonist." ”

"Alas~" Lan Qi handed over a wine glass and said with a smile, "What are you humble?" Look at the last time you were baptized by fire, how many people cried out for you. ”

Si Li's eyes darkened slightly, and he took the wine glass and took a sip without hesitation, and Lan Qi looked satisfied when he saw this.

"That's because they trust Si Li."

"In short, you can't hide here anymore, how many noble ladies have come to this banquet, waiting to admire your demeanor for a while~" Lan Qi quipped. Si Li showed a helpless look, "Your Highness, I'm still young, and I won't think about starting a family for the time being." ”

"A good boy has ambitions in all directions, I understand you." Lan Qi smiled slightly, raised his glass and drank the wine, "Please, birthday star?" ”

The prince invited him so warmly, although Si Li knew that what was waiting for him in front of him would be the Hongmen Banquet, but he couldn't hide anymore, sighed silently, and Si Li walked into the main hall with a step.

When he was about to enter the door, Si Li couldn't help but glance back, there had been no news for so long, and he was really a little worried about Mu Shi's situation.

"What? Is there anyone who can be worried about Si Li? Prince Lan Qi was scheming, so he naturally saw that Si Li couldn't hide his worries, and joked with some curiosity.

"No, nothing." Si Li immediately restrained his emotions and smiled slightly, "It's just a little regrettable that a friend didn't come to participate." ”

"Then this friend must be very important, if you have the opportunity, you can introduce it to me, and I also want to see what kind of person Si Li treats as a friend and treats him sincerely." Lan Qi's eyes flowed, and he smiled and held Gao Sili.

"I think there's going to be a chance." Si Li said softly.

"Ah, when you say that, I'm getting more and more interested in your friends, because your vision is very high." Lan Qi quipped. Si Li smiled and said nothing, and the moment he walked into the main hall, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone.

"Huh? The birthday boy is coming! ”

"Our birthday star is really late~"

"You know what, haven't you read those scripts? The main characters are the last to appear! ”

"Si Li is so handsome, he looks so good, I really want to marry him."

"So many people, don't be a nymphomaniac, wake up without your share."

"Why can't I dream?"

All kinds of voices were talking, Si Li was a little helpless, didn't His Royal Highness Lan Qi hold this banquet on purpose to take revenge on him?

Suddenly, a cold gaze that was incompatible with the warm gaze around him caught Si Li's attention, and when he looked at it, that gaze disappeared.

"Huh?" Si Li squinted slightly, and when he wanted to go over to check, he was surrounded by a group of bigwigs, so he could only negotiate with him helplessly.

"Tut-tut, the young master is not so easy to become......" Mu Shi sat in the corner and watched the suddenly lively hall, shaking his head and sighing.

"Honestly, there aren't many." Qingying said coldly, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Si Li, who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Oh? Then are you sincere to Brother Si Li? Mu Shi asked with interest. Qingying blushed when asked, and said in a firm whisper, "I naturally have a heartfelt heart for the young master, and the sun and the moon can be seen." ”

"Is it just heartfelt—" Mu Shi elongated his tone and quipped, dyeing Qingying's cold pretty face with Feixia. Mu Shi couldn't help but shake his head: This is too obvious, and it is not disguised. Picking up a piece of pastry, Mu Shi decided to eat something to fill his stomach first.

An hour has passed since Si Li accompanied the congratulatory people. Taking a deep breath, Si Li turned around and saw Mu Shi and Qingying sitting in the corner, his originally tired eyes brightened a little, and he was obviously very surprised by Mu Shi's appearance. Looking left and right, most of the people had already sat down to eat the banquet, and Si Li walked towards Mu Shi quietly.

"How? You two didn't get hurt in any way, did you? Si Li sat down and looked at the two of them with some concern.

Mu Shi shook his head, "It's going well, I'm not at ease." ”

Qingying also nodded, and her face suddenly flushed a little, "Mu Gongzi is indeed a very reliable person. ”

"Huh?" Si Li was a little surprised that Qingying's attitude towards Mu Shi had changed so quickly, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Mu Shi. Mu Shi shrugged, looked around, and leaned over to Si Li's side and whispered a brief explanation.

After hearing this, Si Li narrowed his eyes slightly, the hand holding the folding fan was already faintly white, his gentle smile faded a lot, and there was a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth, "It's really my good big brother, in order to pull me down, he didn't care about anything." ”

Mu Shi shook her head, she couldn't comfort the tragedy of brothers killing each other. After all, on her side, there are also two big brothers and sisters who also put her to death~ But there are too many means to be pediatric.

"Thank you very much." Si Li's expression suddenly straightened, and he said seriously.

Mu Shi waved his hand, "You provided me with the Biyu Demon Soil, and also found other material information for me, I should do this little thing." ”

"Don't worry, after tonight, the Blue Feather Demon Land will definitely be handed over to you." Si Li smiled faintly, looking at the scattered banquet, his eyes were a little cold. Mu Shi touched his chin, could it be that the blue feather demon soil is in the hands of the royal family?

"Si Li." With a gentle call, Si Li's originally cold eyes immediately melted, and he looked at the elegant and gentle woman who came over with a gentle smile on his face, "Sister." ”

Si Anqi is wearing a goose yellow dress today, with an outstanding temperament, and she is undoubtedly the focus of the banquet, but she seems to only have her good brother in her eyes, which makes all the noble children who want to kiss Fang Ze come back. Beside her, there was also a tall young man, whose appearance was five points similar to that of Prince Lan Qi, but he was more masculine and upright, and he should be related by blood.

Si Li stood up, "His Royal Highness Cang is also here, did you find something?" "This young man is another strong contender for the throne, the prince of Lancang, the third in line, but he is only one year old from the crown prince. is gentle and upright, and his ability to march and fight is very outstanding, and he and the crown prince Lan Qi have taken two paths.

Si Li also took a fancy to Lan Cang's character and chose to support him. At that time, it will be very simple for the Si family to withdraw.

An Qi and the prince glanced at each other, An Qi's expression was a little solemn, "The housekeeper came to report that Si Yuanmo was missing." ”

Si Li paused and smiled faintly, "I knew that today was not that simple. ”

"I have sent an army to look for it, but it should be the eldest brother's doing, and there is no clue." Lan Cangban's face was solemn.

Si Li patted Lan Cang's shoulder comfortingly, "Thank you for your hard work, during the time I had an accident, you must have been under house arrest by him." ”

Lan Cang smiled bitterly, "I can't help you, it's useless." ”

Si Li didn't want to think too much about this topic, so he stepped sideways, "Let me introduce to you, this is the friend I met in Yunchuang, Mu Shi." ”

Mu Shi had already stood up and nodded to the two of them when he saw this.

"Ah, it's you, the little maid who snuck in last time?!" Angel looked at Mu Shi suspiciously for a while, and suddenly whispered in understanding.

"Ahem......" Mu Shi choked for a moment, and glanced at Si Li, who was snickering, helplessly, "That, because the situation was forced at the time, I could only sneak in like this." ”

Angel also covered her lips and smiled, "I didn't expect your disguise to be so good, I didn't see that you were a boy at all~"

Mu Shi thought to himself that it was my deity, of course you can't see it, and he still had a smile on his face.

"Those who can be called friends by Si Li must not be ordinary people." Lan Cang watched the drama roughly, in fact, how could there be a simple-minded person who grew up in the palace, and he smiled slightly to transfer the embarrassment, which made Mu Shi have a good impression of him.

"Yes, my friend, even I have to be ashamed of myself." Si Li looked at Mu Shi with a smile and praised with a hint of fun.

Mu Shi smiled helplessly, "Brother Si Li, don't praise me, I, who was laughed at by Yunqi City, where can I afford it." ”

The four of them were greeting each other, and suddenly, all the lights in the hall went out, and everyone fell into darkness for a while.
